About this map

Colony serves as a focal point for this section of Washita County, situated where the terrain begins to slope toward Cobb Creek. The settlement is home to the Washita Heights Sch and a local Park, reflecting a community structured around its civic institutions. The surrounding landscape, characterized by the Seger territory, is deeply rooted in local and tribal history, evidenced by the presence of several burial sites including the Indian Cem and Vandyke Cem.

Resource extraction and transport are prominent throughout the area, with numerous Quarries and a significant Pipeline cutting across the land. Waterways like Bull Creek and Buck Creek define the drainage patterns, while the Lawrence Landing Strip and a Radio Tower indicate the integration of mid-century infrastructure. Rural connectivity is anchored by Cowden Junction, linking the remote school and cemeteries to the broader county network.
