2012 Map of Cordell

About this map

Cordell serves as the primary hub of activity in this Washita County landscape, where the grid of city streets transitions into a expansive network of rural reservoirs and agricultural roads. The town's infrastructure is anchored by the Cordell Municipal Airport and the local Cordell Cem, reflecting its role as a regional center. Outside the town limits, the geography is defined by an extensive series of water management sites, including numerous numbered basins such as Boggy Cr Watershed Site 1 Reservoir and Cavalry Cr Watershed 25 Reservoir. These man-made features highlight the mid-century and later efforts to control drainage across the Boggy Cr and Cavalry Cr systems. Of significant interest to genealogists are several rural burial grounds, including the Bible Mennonite Brethren Cem, Herold Mennonite Cem, and Sichar Cem, which point to the Mennonite heritage and established family roots of the surrounding countryside.
