About this map

The prominent elevation of Blue Mound anchors this 2010 topographic survey of Washington County, Oklahoma. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water management features and seasonal drainages, including the Cotton Coon Mission Site Number 12 Dam and several structures associated with the Dutcher name, such as Dutcher Number 1 Dam and D B Dutcher Number 3 Dam. These small impoundments suggest a local economy focused on ranching and water conservation in a region where water sources are vital.

The settlement of Wayside sits in the northwest, connected to the surrounding countryside by a grid of rural roads like W 1200 Rd. Numerous named waterways, including the winding Hogshooter Creek, Cedar Creek, and the aptly named Little California Creek, carve through the terrain. The presence of the Oknoname 139006 Dam highlights the systematic indexing of water resources across this part of the state at the beginning of the 21st century.
