2022 Map of Cowden

About this map

Cowden serves as the northern focal point in this agricultural landscape of Washita County, where the plains are deeply dissected by the Washita River and its numerous tributaries. The terrain is defined by a systematic grid of section-line roads, such as E 1250 Rd and N 2410 Rd, which navigate around significant water management features like the Cowden Laterals Site 4 Reservoir and Cowden Laterals Site 7 Reservoir. These reservoirs and the drainage basins of Spring Creek and Cottonwood Creek illustrate the regional reliance on controlled water systems for ranching and farming. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies specific burial sites including Sappington Chapel Cemetery in the north and Oakdale Cemetery further south, providing exact locations for family heritage sites within the rural landscape.
