About this map

The Canadian River cuts through the northern reaches of this Roger Mills County landscape, crossed by the Pack Saddle Bridge as it flows toward the Ellis County line. This western Oklahoma territory is defined by its drainage basins and unique landmarks like the flat-topped Pie Flat and the prominent Ant Hill. Small-scale water management is evident through a series of numbered reservoirs, including 129007 and 129008, which support the local agriculture and ranching economy in an otherwise arid region.

The unincorporated community of Roll serves as a central point for the surrounding rural area. Genealogists and local historians can locate early settlement markers at the Pie Flat Cemetery and Silent Home Cemetery. Large portions of the southern terrain are preserved as part of the Black Kettle National Grassland, where seasonal waterways like Dead Warrior Creek and Wild Horse Creek carve through the plains.
