2018 Map of Cole

About this map

Cole and the eastern edge of Blanchard anchor this 2018 survey of McClain County, where the transition from rolling prairie to the creek bottoms of Walnut Creek is clearly defined. The landscape is dominated by a grid of rural roads and scattered farmsteads, punctuated by historic resting places like Jerusalem Cem and Dibble Cem. To the southeast, the small community of Washington sits near the headwaters of several drainage systems, while the southwestern corner features Dibble and the winding course of Dibble Creek. Modern water management is evident through numerous reservoirs, including the Ken Daniels Reservoir and 087035 Reservoir, reflecting the area's agricultural reliance on local watersheds like Sandy Creek and North Criner Creek. The map documents a contemporary rural Oklahoma landscape where traditional townships like Goldsby continue to interface with a maturing network of county roads.
