2016 Map of Straight

About this map

The settlement of Straight serves as the focal point for this section of the High Plains, situated just south of the border between Kansas and Oklahoma. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape defined by an orderly grid of section-line roads, such as Co Rd 24 and Co Hwy D, which facilitate movement through the agricultural territory of Texas County. The topographic data reveals a largely flat expanse punctuated by natural depressions and drainage systems, most notably Wild Horse Lake and the meandering path of Pony Cr in the southwest. These features provide a sharp contrast to the geometric precision of the man-made road network and county boundaries, reflecting the specialized land-use patterns common to the Oklahoma Panhandle.
