1983 Map of Foss

About this map

Foss sits at a strategic junction in western Oklahoma, where the Farmrail railroad and State Highway 66 meet the modern corridor of Interstate 40. This early 1980s landscape is defined by its water management and agricultural heritage, centered on the drainage of Turkey Creek and Clinton Lake. The terrain is marked by numerous family and community burial sites, including Old Foss Cem, Kerns Cem, and St Francis Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Washita County. The map provides a detailed look at rural infrastructure, from the Waterworks and various Sew Disp Ponds to the network of local creeks like East Turkey Creek and West Turkey Creek. Fine red dashed lines throughout the quadrangle indicate selected fence and field lines, revealing the intricate land-use patterns of the era.
