Dead Women Crossing is an essentially uninhabited rural crossroads in Custer County, named for the 1905 murder of Katie DeWitt James. The case was one of the more notorious crimes in early Oklahoma statehood and was never definitively solved. The name has given the spot a small dark-tourism following.
There is nothing to see beyond an empty rural intersection, the creek, and a few abandoned farm buildings. It is included here as a curiosity rather than a sight in the conventional sense — a half-hour detour for visitors with an interest in regional folklore and the strange names of the Oklahoma map.
