About this map

Colony serves as the primary hub of this eastern Washita County landscape, where the residential grid is defined by streets like Arapaho Ave and Watan Ave. The surrounding rural territory is dominated by a complex network of tributaries feeding into the larger drainage basins of Cobb Cr and Buck Cr. These waterways are punctuated by several engineered water bodies, including Cobb Cr Site 2 Reservoir in the north and smaller impoundments such as 149036 Reservoir.

Local history is preserved in the scattered rural landmarks found at various section intersections. Genealogists and researchers can identify the Red Top Cem near the center of the quadrangle and Van Dyke Cem situated further south near Cowden Junction. The road network follows a strict section-line grid, typical of the Oklahoma prairie, with routes like E 1150 RD and N 2420 RD providing the structure for this agricultural and ranching community.
