About this map

Ute Creek Mesa dominates the eastern half of this landscape on the border of Harding and Union counties. The terrain transitions from high, flat mesa land to the lower plains, shaped by the erosion of the Ute Creek drainage system. While the area is largely characterized by open range, the network of local roads reveals a history of family ranching and settlement. Dehaven Rd and Romero Bros Rd point to the local families who established themselves in this high-plains environment. Other named routes like Dorothy Rd, Lovato Rd, and Atkins Ln provide specific touchpoints for genealogists tracing ancestral landholdings in the ranchlands north of the Canadian River valley.
