About this map

The Washita River meanders through the heart of Caddo County, defining a landscape of agricultural lowlands and low ridges. In the late 1970s, the western edge of Anadarko serves as the primary hub, where the Riverside Indian Sch and Anadarko Muni Airport anchor the local community. The region's spiritual and social history is deeply etched into the land through rural landmarks like Red Stone Ch and Ware Chapel, alongside their associated burial grounds such as Red Stone Cem.

Transport and industry follow the river valley, with the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad bisecting the terrain. To the south, Apache Wye marks a significant rail junction while the Public Service Reservoir No 3 and a nearby powerplant indicate the infrastructure supporting the growing town. Distinct townships like West Mc Kinley and Highland organize the outlying ranch and farm lands, which are drained by tributaries including Hog Creek and Cedar Canyon.
