2015 Map of Rolla NW

About this map

The Cimarron National Grassland dominates this portion of Morton County, preserving a landscape defined by the winding course of the Cimarron River. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain structured by early western migration and modern land management, where the legendary Old Santa Fe Trl cuts across the prairie. The geography is divided into large grazing allotments, such as North Lowe Pasture, Rollo Pasture, and Bridge Pasture, reflecting the region's enduring cattle-ranching economy. Access through this open country is maintained by a network of established paths, including the Companion Trail and the Cimarron River Trail, which parallel the watercourse. This map illustrates the transition from traditional wagon routes to the structured pasture system that characterizes the High Plains today.
