2018 Map of Colony

About this map

Colony is situated in eastern Washita County, serving as a focal point for a region defined by agricultural sections and winding creek beds. The landscape is structured by a grid of rural roads like Watan Ave and Arapaho Ave, which intersect the north-south section lines. To the south lies Cowden Junction, a crossroads marking the transition toward more varied drainage systems. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain carved by the Cobb Creek watershed, which includes the Cobb Creek Site 2 Reservoir and several smaller unnamed catchments like 149036 Reservoir. Local history is anchored by the presence of the Red Top Cemetery and Van Dyke Cemetery, providing essential landmarks for genealogists. The water network is particularly intricate here, with Bull Creek, Gup Creek, and Taylor Creek all contributing to the drainage of these central Oklahoma plains.
