About this map

The town of Cordell serves as the hub of this Washita County landscape, characterized by the convergence of agricultural land and early 1980s infrastructure. Educational and community foundations are well-marked, including Lincoln School, Washington School, and Jefferson School, alongside the Memorial Hospital and several local churches like Herold Church. Transportation patterns are defined by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and the Cordell Municipal Airport to the east.

Water drainage across the prairie is traced through Boggy Creek in the north and the branching Cavalry Creek system to the south. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including Lawnview Cemetery, Brethren Cemetery, and Sichar Cemetery. An Aqueduct and Sewage Disposal facility reflect the managed water systems necessary for this Oklahoma community during the late twentieth century.
