2016 Map of Faxon

About this map

Faxon sits at the center of a precise grid of rural section roads in southwestern Oklahoma, where the prairie landscape is carved by a network of seasonal drainages. This high-resolution study shows a transition from the agricultural uplands down toward the Comanche Co Cotton Co line. Water management is a defining characteristic of this terrain, evidenced by several numbered reservoirs such as 031068 Reservoir and 031064 Reservoir that dot the tributaries of Blue Beaver Cr and W Cache Cr. Local history is anchored by the Faxon Cem located just southwest of the town site along SW Logue Chapel Rd. The map also traces the paths of numerous named creeks including Spring Cr, Persimmon Cr, and Samstag Cr, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that influence land use in this part of Comanche County.
