Cimarron River

The Cimarron River is a waterway that flows through parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. It originates in the New Mexico mountains and travels eastward, providing essential water resources for communities, agriculture, and wildlife. As a tributary of the Arkansas River, it plays a role in the region's ecosystem and water cycle. The river's course varies with rainfall and drought conditions, and it features areas of riparian habitat supportive of diverse plant and animal life. Its flow is vital for sustaining regional ecosystems and supporting economic activities in the areas it traverses.
