Rough Creek Ranch is a small (approximately 1000 acres) ranch located northwest of Thomas, Oklahoma. It is the first parcel to be purchased in a long-term plan to re-establish the equivalent of conditions in Oklahoma which existed prior to the arrival of Europeans in the 16th through 18th centuries.

Geography

Rough Creek Ranch is located at 35°48′44″N 98°48′19″W / 35.81222°N 98.80528°W / 35.81222; -98.80528Invalid arguments have been passed to the {{#coordinates:}} function (35.812481, -98.805455)Template:GR.

The Ranch has a total area of 1.562 square miles (4.046 km²), almost all of it land.

The Ranch consists of high plateau which has been cut with deep canyons, and is bordered on the south by Rough Creek, which flows approximately 2 miles to the north and east to enter the North Canadian River.

Demographics

As of 2000, there was 1 person, 1 household, and 1 family residing at the Ranch. The population density was 0.66 people per square mile (0.25/km²). There was 1 housing unit at an average density of 0.66/sq mi (0.25/km²). The racial makeup of the Ranch was 100% ANC.

There was 1 household out of which 0.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 0.0% were married couples living together, 0.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 100.0% were non-families. 100.0% of all households were made up of individuals and 0.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 1.00 and the average family size was 1.00.

Although the U.S. Census reports population age data, this is an unconstitutional usurpation of the purpose of the census, and the Ranch would have refused to participate other than to provide a number of residents, if it hadn't been for the fact that the census man never showed up.

The median income for the household at the Ranch was none of your damn business, and the median income for a family was even lower.
