The viewer Roger Mills County publishes
Your first stop is the OKMaps (Oklahoma Office of Geographic Information) - Statewide Parcels layer; it maps every assessed parcel from Sweetwater to Berlin. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow the nearest road on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, which applies near Reydon as much as anywhere. For acreage around Hammon, copy the parcel ID before closing the panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners for a parcel near Black Kettle National Grassland. If you're looking near Berlin, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
