Hammon, OK

united states

Hammon lies in western Oklahoma's wheat country, about 100 miles west of Oklahoma City via I-40 and Highway 33. This Roger Mills County town of 457 sits where Oklahoma's forests give way to Great Plains grassland. The main route goes west on I-40 to Elk City, then north 15 miles on Highway 33, while travelers from Texas use US 283 north through ranch country. The town hosts an annual powwow celebrating its connection to Cheyenne and Arapaho tribal heritage.
