About this map

Alfalfa anchors this survey of Caddo and Washita counties, appearing during a period of established agricultural and energy activity. The settlement is centered around the Alfalfa Sch and a local cemetery, serving as a hub for the surrounding rural landscape. Water dominates the eastern and southern edges of the map, where the sprawling Fort Cobb Reservoir and its associated Fort Cobb State Wildlife Management Area create a significant recreational and conservation footprint.

To the south, the Washita River meanders across the terrain, flanked by aviation facilities like Botone Airport and Carnegie Municipal Airport. The landscape is a patchwork of resource extraction and transit, noted by numerous Gas Wells and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the center. Small family or community landmarks, such as the Daugamah Cem and Swan Lake, provide specific points of interest for those tracing local genealogy or land use patterns in the mid-1980s.
