Cimarron County, County in western Oklahoma, United States
Description
Cimarron County is an administrative area spanning 1,841 square miles across Oklahoma's Panhandle. The landscape features Black Mesa, a distinctive high point, along with extensive agricultural lands that define much of the terrain.
History
The area was known as No Man's Land before 1890, a region without clear legal authority where ranchers and settlers lived outside established laws. This period ended in 1907 when the territory became part of the state of Oklahoma.
Culture
The Kenton Caves hold Native American artifacts, tools, and rock art that show thousands of years of people living in this region. These caves tell the story of how long communities have called this place home.
Practical
The area is accessible via several highways, including US routes 56, 64, 412, and 287, connecting to neighboring states and regional services. Visitors should be prepared with a vehicle, as the region is sparsely settled with considerable distances between locations.

This is the only county in the United States that touches four different states - Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, and Texas. This geographic position makes the region cartographically and politically one of a kind.
