1961 Map of Eakly

About this map

Colony and Eakly anchor this 1961 survey of Caddo and Washita counties, a region defined by its red-soil creek valleys and rural social centers. The landscape is dotted with community landmarks like the Indian Cem and Mound Valley Sch, reflecting a long history of local settlement and faith. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the recently established Fort Cobb Reservoir in the southeast corner and numerous smaller impoundments such as Crowder Lake and Worth Richmond Lake. Numerous quarries and a Strip Mine near Cowden Junction reveal the area's extractive economy. Named terrain features like Twin Mounds and Ghost Mound provide distinctive navigational markers across the varied topography of the Cobb Creek and Fivemile Creek drainage systems.
