The Cedar Breaks Archeological District, in Cimarron County, Oklahoma near Felt, is a 160-acre (65 ha) archeological site that was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It includes three contributing sites denoted Ci-193, Ci-194 and Ci-195; it includes rock art and at least one camp site area. It was listed on the National Register for its potential to yield information in the future.[1]

Within the three sites are "a series of six, well-defined stone circles with scattered lithic debris; a small cave/shelter with petroglyphs; and a cliff face with prehistoric petroglyphs and historic carvings."[2]
