2012 Map of Rough Creek

About this map

The Canadian River cuts across the northeastern corner of this western Oklahoma landscape, defining a drainage network that includes Yellow Bull Cr, One Horse Cr, and the central Rough Creek from which the quadrangle takes its name. The terrain is characterized by a precise grid of rural roads, such as e0840 RD and n2330 RD, which serve a scattered agricultural community. For family historians, the map provides exact locations for local burial grounds, including Bethel Cem in the southwest and Forney Cem near the center. These small landmarks, along with numerous named tributaries like Eggleston Cr and Little Deer Cr, offer a detailed view of the Custer County countryside as it appeared in the early 21st century, just north of the section lines leading into Thomas.
