About this map

The Canadian River cuts through the northern reaches of this landscape, marking the boundary between Ellis and Roger Mills counties. This region is defined by the expansive presence of the Black Kettle National Grassland, which is fragmented into several distinct blocks of protected territory. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Sourdough, Quartermaster, and Ninemile creeks, which carve through the plains.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural landmarks preserved here, such as Lone Bell, Rhome, and Lone Star cemeteries. The topographic detail highlights the watershed management in the area, specifically with the Nine Mile Creek Site 3 and Site 16 reservoirs. Elevation markers like Benham Hill provide orientation within this primarily agricultural and conservation-focused landscape during the early 21st century.
