2009 Map of Fairmont

About this map

Fairmont and Douglas anchor this section of Garfield County, Oklahoma, in a landscape defined by an orderly grid of county roads and numerous watercourses. The drainage patterns of Bitter Creek, Otter Creek, and Wolf Creek weave through the agricultural sections, illustrating the natural geography that dictates local land use. In the northern reaches, the Upper Black Bear Creek Site 35 Reservoir and Upper Black Bear Creek Site 36 Reservoir represent significant water management infrastructure, each supported by its respective Upper Black Bear Creek Site 35 Dam and Site 36 Dam. Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Collett Cemetery near the northern border and Union Cemetery south of Douglas valuable for tracing family ties in this rural prairie community.
