About this map

The Black Kettle National Grassland dominates this portion of western Oklahoma, creating a patchwork of protected prairie lands across the landscape. The small community of Crawford sits along a grid of section roads, surrounded by a complex network of drainage systems. The Washita River meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by numerous tributaries including Spring Creek, Dead Warrior Creek, and Wildcat Creek.

Evidence of local water management is clear with the presence of Spring Creek Lake and the Upper Washita Site 43 Reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, the Sunrise Cemetery provides a specific point of interest south of the Washita River. The terrain is characterized by the Twin Hills in the northwest, punctuating a region defined by its wide-open spaces and the intersecting rural road system that connects these remote homesteads and ranch lands.
