About this map

The Fort Cobb State Reservoir dominates the western portion of this Oklahoma landscape, defined by its intricate shoreline featuring Carnegie Cove, Marina Cove, and the winding Kardokas Slough. The impoundment of this water body, regulated by the Dam, dramatically altered the local topography, creating extensive recreational and conservation zones within the Fort Cobb State Park and the adjacent Fort Cobb State Public Hunting Area.

Away from the water, the settlement of Albert remains a focal point for local history, supported by the nearby Oney Sch and Albert Cem. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional prairie agriculture and more modern resource extraction, evidenced by several Oil Wells scattered across the northern and eastern plains. Notable waterways like Punjo Creek and Willow Cr drain the higher ground of the Willow and View districts, showing the older drainage patterns that existed long before the reservoir's construction.
