About this map

The town of Foss sits at a critical intersection of modern infrastructure and rural Oklahoma history, positioned just south of the Custer County and Washita County line. This landscape is defined by an extensive water management network, featuring numerous controlled basins such as Turkey Creek Site 1 and Soldier Creek Watershed Site 11. The presence of Clinton Lake and various watershed sites reflects the mid-century transition toward flood control and agricultural stabilization in the region.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the township, including both the Old Foss Cem and New Foss Cem, alongside rural sites like Kerns Cem, Saint Francis Cem, and Page Cem. The map traces the path of Turkey Cr and its many tributaries, such as Oak Cr and Boggy Cr, which historically dictated the placement of early homesteads and transportation routes now represented by the grid of local roads like e1080 RD and e1110 RD.
