About this map

The Cimarron River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, crossed by the Allen Williamson Bridge south of the town of Ripley. This area of Payne County is defined by a dense network of flood-control and water-storage reservoirs, including Stillwater Cr Site 1 Reservoir, Stillwater Cr Site 2 Reservoir, and several others numbered across the Stillwater Creek and Little Stillwater Cr drainage systems.

Settlement patterns center on the historic communities of Mehan and Ingalls, the latter located in the northeast near the rugged terrain of Ghost Hollow. For those researching family history, the map identifies several local burial grounds such as Mount Hope Cem, Clayton Cem, and Oak Park Cem. The grid of section roads, from E 6th Ave in the north to W Grandstaff Rd in the south, provides a clear framework for locating original homesteads and land tracts across the Oklahoma prairie.
