Several of these roads will take someone to places like the three state marker where Colorado, New Mexico, and Oklahoma meet. Most of them are dirt, but most of them are really solid dirt roads. If you mess around with GoogleMaps or GoogleEarth, you will see a vast network of roads in the area. Large wildlife and livestock are the main concern and at night, it pays to be prudent and take it easy. As long as one keeps a sane speed, which I do not see why they would not since there is so much to see, everything will be fine. Since this is mesa country, they do have some elevation changes and curves, which adds a little danger to the traveling. The paved roads are fairly smooth, but narrow. I HAVE HEARD ABOUT OKLAHOMA ROADSĪnd guess what, they can be pretty bad out in the Panhandle! Honestly, the roads out in the Black Mesa area are pretty solid. Enough to annoy me with a hundred notifications and that is it. There is one little spot that it does get service for about 30 seconds. My phone though is Verizon and I lose service in about 99.9% of the area. My IPad has service through PTCI and it has service all over the area. Since they are AT&T based, those with that service should be fine.
Black mesa ok upgrade#
Just a few years ago, the local telecommunications system, PTCI undertook a serious effort to upgrade their system in the area. This used to be a big issue as the Black Mesa area tends to be somewhat behind in technological advances. If you zoom out on the map, you will see that Kenton is almost due north of Clayton, but since they are in the same time zone, the times for Clayton works for Kenton and the surrounding area.Ĭonfused yet? Well if you are, I have more confusion to throw in with…………………. To get around this issue, I just look up those times using Clayton, New Mexico as my location. This, in turn, would make planning sunset shots or portrait sessions into a mild nightmare, even with the tools that I use. I always found it difficult to find accurate sunset information because of the time zone. Growing up, this meant nothing to me, but since I started making regular trips out there with my camera, it messed with me. The residents go off mountain time, yet Boise City, the center of the Cimarron County universe is in the central time zone. That is correct, Kenton rests in the mountain time zone and that can mess with a person’s head. There are no two ways about it though, it is desolate and provides a photographer, or even just a tourist some issues they have to deal with.
That might be generous, or it could be in relation to the total area the person is considering. From time to time, I hear the number 100 as an estimate of the number of people in the area. At the last Census, the population was listed at 17. It is about a 30-minute drive from Boise City. As you can see from the map, it is only a couple miles east of the New Mexico state line.
It is so far west that it is in the mountain time zone. Kenton is located in the far northwestern portion of Oklahoma. The skies in the area are first class for night photography
