2022 Map of Texhoma NW

About this map

Baker Cem sits at the heart of this high plains landscape, a remote point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing families in the panhandle. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Tepee Cr in the north and Sand Creek in the southwest. This area, divided by the Public Land Survey System into townships like t3n-r10e and t2n r11e, reflects the rigid grid of the American West. A network of rural routes, including Cemetery Rd and Co Hwy 49, connects these agricultural sections, following the section lines established over a century ago. The sparse placement of named features underscore the expansive nature of the cattle and wheat country near the Oklahoma-Texas border.
