About this map

Foss Reservoir dominates the western landscape of this Custer County region, formed by the engineering of the Foss Dam along the Washita River. The area surrounding the reservoir is defined by a dense network of water management features, including several numbered reservoirs such as Butler Laterals Site 2 Reservoir and Soldier Cr Watershed Site 10 Reservoir. These sites illustrate the intensive hydrological planning required to manage the drainage of tributaries like Comet Cr and Soldier Cr into the larger basin.

The town of Butler sits at a central crossroads east of the water, while the Edwardsville Cem remains as a local genealogical landmark near the reservoir's southern shores. The terrain is marked by distinct points like Cheyenne Point and several creeks, including Cuthberth Cr and Pitts Cr, which carve through the plains. The map's detailed road grid, featuring labels like Mouse Creek Rd and Oil Field Rd, reflects the agricultural and industrial activity prevalent in this part of Oklahoma.
