2016 Map of Cordell

About this map

New Cordell serves as the focal point of this Washita County landscape, showing a grid-patterned settlement surrounded by a complex system of water management. The terrain is defined by a dense network of reservoirs integrated into the natural drainage of Boggy Creek and Cavalry Creek. These numerous watershed sites, such as Boggy Creek Watershed Site 30 Reservoir and Cavalry Creek Watershed 25 Reservoir, reveal the critical importance of soil conservation and water control in this agricultural region. The map preserves the locations of several community landmarks, including the Cordell Municipal Airport and a series of rural burying grounds like the Bible Mennonite Brethren Cemetery and Herold Mennonite Cemetery, which reflect the area's denominational heritage and long-standing family roots.
