About this map

The Washita River meanders across this landscape just east of the city of Anadarko, defining a terrain shaped by the convergence of several major tributaries. In this 2009 snapshot, the area is notably defined by a complex network of flood control structures and reservoirs, including Spring Creek Site 102 Reservoir in the north and several catchments along Tonkawa Creek. These man-made features reflect mid-to-late 20th-century water management efforts across the Caddo County prairie.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Kiowa Cemetery in the northwest and the Roach Cemetery further east near the banks of Delaware Creek. The transition from the urban grid of Anadarko into the neighborhood of South Hills and the surrounding rural section-line roads illustrates the continued eastward expansion of the community towards the agricultural plains drained by Sugar Creek and the West Fork Delaware Creek.
