The Dempsey Divide Project is a long-term study of the archeology, paleoclimate, and paleogeography of the Dempsey Divide, the upland area between the Washita and North Fork of the Red rivers in far western Oklahoma.

Published Articles will take you to an online library of newspaper, newsletter, and journal articles reporting the results of relevant research within and adjacent to the study area.

Under Modern Flora and Fauna, you will find species lists of the plants and animals that live in the study area today, and a recently published study on the ethnobotany of the Dempsey Divide.

For a brief summary of the project results to date, please select Project Synopsis on the black navigation bar above.

Rainfall Since 1893 provides a tabular presentation of monthly rainfall for the study area back to 1893, along with various summary rainfall statistics; graphs of annual rainfall and its five and fifteen year running averages; and several published articles discussing the significance of these data.
