About this map

Geronimo serves as the primary population center in this 1987 survey of the Oklahoma plains near the border of Comanche and Cotton counties. The town’s grid is clearly defined, situated alongside the Oklahoma Kansas and Texas railroad corridor and a Sewage Disposal Pond. The landscape is dominated by the winding path of West Cache Creek, which creates a riparian corridor through the agricultural surroundings of the Crosby and Jackson townships.

Evidence of the local economy and infrastructure is scattered throughout the quadrangle, from a Gravel Pit along the creek to the H.E. Bailey Turnpike (Toll) cutting north-to-south. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Elm Grove Cem in the southeastern quadrant, while several communication points like a Radio Facility and Radio Tower indicate the era's technical development. Smaller watercourses such as Snake Creek and Pecan Creek branch across the terrain, which includes the named land area of Strauss.
