About this map

Ryan serves as the primary population center in this corner of Jefferson County, where the street grid is clearly defined by numbered streets and namesake thoroughfares like Washington St and Main St. The landscape is dominated by the meandering course of Beaver Creek and its many tributaries, including Squirrel Creek and Hackberry Creek, which drain toward the prominent boundary of the Red River. This river marks the state line between Oklahoma and Texas at the southern edge of the map.

Northwest of the main townsite, the smaller settlement of Sugden remains a distinct point of interest for local historians, anchored by its own community landmarks like Sugden Cemetery. For genealogists, the placement of the Ryan Cemetery south of town provides a specific anchor for family history research. The grid of section line roads like N2800 Rd and Ew 15 illustrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the rural Oklahoma prairie.
