2010 Map of Rough Creek

About this map

Rough Creek and its many tributaries define the landscape of this portion of Custer County, creating a complex drainage network that flows toward the Canadian River in the northeast. The area is marked by a rigorous section-line road grid, including E0840 Rd and N2340 Rd, which reveals a deeply established agricultural settlement pattern common to the Oklahoma plains. Scattered throughout this rural expanse are critical markers of local family history and genealogy, such as Forney Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery. The map captures the intricate hydrology of the region, where uniquely named waterways like One Horse Creek, Yellow Bull Creek, and Fiddlers Creek carve through the terrain. This document provides a clear view of the infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing how the rural road network provides access to the isolated homesteads and burial grounds that anchor the local community.
