About this map

The town of Alex and the southern fringes of Chickasha anchor this Grady County landscape along the meandering Washita River. The terrain is defined by an extensive water management system comprising numerous flood control structures, including the Roaring Creek Site S-1 Reservoir and Winter Creek Site 23 Reservoir. These reservoirs are distributed across the drainage basins of Soldier Creek and Roaring Creek, illustrating the intersection of modern agricultural engineering and the natural river valley.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks such as Ireton Cem and Alex Cem. The transportation network reveals a transition from traditional rural routes like Cedar Hill Road to more modern thoroughfares such as the Chitwood Expy. The map also captures the confluence of the Little Washita River and Bitter Creek as they feed into the primary river system, shaping the agricultural potential of the Oklahoma plains.
