2009 Map of Colony

About this map

Colony sits at the heart of this rural Oklahoma landscape, serving as a focal point for a region defined by its creek-fed drainages and agricultural section lines. This early 21st-century survey reveals a highly managed hydrological system, where numerous small reservoirs and dams, such as the Oknoname 149036 Reservoir and Cobb Creek Site 2 Reservoir, punctuate the landscape to support the local water table and livestock. Cultural landmarks include the Indian Cemetery and Red Top Cemetery, which offer valuable points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing family lineages in Washita County. The terrain is marked by the winding paths of Buck Creek and Cobb Creek, while the presence of the Lawrence Airport and a grid of rural roads like Payne Lake Rd facilitate regional movement.
