About this map

The Washita River meanders across this landscape, defining the character of the Caddo County terrain in the late 1970s. The town of Fort Cobb serves as a central hub, situated where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line crosses the river. Local heritage sites are prominent, including the Indian Ceremonial Grounds to the west and several rural places of worship like Macedonia Ch and Apache Ch.

Infrastructure of the era is marked by the Caddo-Kiowa Voc-Tech Center and the Sewage Disposal Ponds south of town, reflecting mid-century municipal growth. The rural landscape is partitioned into named districts such as Grand View and Highland, with numerous watercourses like Two Hatchet Creek and Gokey Creek feeding into the main river valley. Genealogists may find value in the locations of Fort Cobb Cem and Cem Pine Ridge in the southern hills.
