2016 Map of Alfalfa

About this map

The Washita River and its varied tributaries, including Running Cr and Cobb Creek, define the landscape of this Oklahoma quadrangle. In the northern reaches, the community of Alfalfa sits near the Alfalfa Cem, reflecting a long-established rural settlement pattern typical of Caddo County. The northeastern corner is dominated by the sprawling waters of the Fort Cobb Reservoir and the distinct smaller basin of Swan Lake. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of water management and agriculture, shown through multiple impoundments like Cowden Laterals Site 101 Reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, the map's value is enhanced by several named burial sites, including Radford Cem and Daugamah Cem, situated near the Carnegie Municipal Airport. The survey also marks the political boundary where Washita County meets Caddo County, following the western edge of the township grid.
