About this map

The Washita River carves a winding path through Caddo County, defining the agricultural and industrial character of the area around Anadarko. The landscape is a mix of river bottomlands and rising terrain, partitioned into traditional local divisions like West Mc Kinley and East Mc Kinley. Significant infrastructure supports the town, including the Anadarko Muni Airport and a prominent Powerplant near the Public Service Reservoir No. 3.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural landmarks of interest, such as the Riverside Indian Sch north of the river and a network of community anchors including Red Stone Ch and Ware Chapel. The presence of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line highlights the historical transportation corridor that facilitated growth in the region. Numerous cemeteries, including Memory Lane Cemetery and Rest Haven Cem, provide essential data points for tracing family lineages in this Oklahoma prairie landscape.
