2018 Map of Fairmont

About this map

Fairmont and Douglas anchor this section of Garfield County, Oklahoma, where the prairie is etched by a complex network of sections and reservoirs. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Bitter Cr and Wolf Cr, which feed into various conservation structures like the Upper Black Bear Cr Site 35 Reservoir. For family historians, several burial grounds are located along the section-line roads, including Collett Cem north of Fairmont and Union Cem near Douglas. The northeastern portion of the quadrangle is marked by Fairmont Field, indicating local industrial land use. This survey illustrates how the rigid Public Land Survey System grid of townships and ranges—spanning t22n r5w and t21n r4w—interacts with the meandering paths of Crow Creek and Otter Cr.
