About this map

Crowder Lake State Recreation Area and the waters of Crowder Lake define the central landscape of this western Oklahoma survey. The terrain is marked by an extensive network of energy infrastructure, with numerous Gas Wells and Drill Holes scattered across the plains of Custer and Washita Counties. Local history is anchored by several rural cemeteries, including Missouri Cem, Plainview Cem, Bethany Cem, and High Point Cem, which serve as lasting markers of early settlement patterns in the Texas and Seger townships.

The hydrology of the region is centered on Cobb Creek and its tributaries like Fivemile Creek and Spring Creek, which feed into Worth Richmond Lake. The presence of a Tank Farm and a widespread Pipeline network illustrates the mid-1980s industrial character of the area, while features like Possum Hollow and Dry Canyon Creek reveal the natural drainage patterns of the Oklahoma prairie before it reaches the various spillways.
