About this map

Gotebo and Mountain View anchor the northern reaches of this Kiowa County landscape, where the prairie meets the winding course of the Washita River. The survey documents a series of water management sites along Rainy Mountain Cr, including the Rainy Mountain Cr Site 29 Reservoir and Rainy Mountain Cr Site 5 Reservoir, which are central to the region's agricultural drainage.

For family historians, the map is particularly valuable for its density of burial grounds, preserving the locations of the Rainy Mountain Old Cem, Rainy Mountain New Cem, and the Ebenezer Mennonite Cem. These sites, along with the Gotebo Cem and Mountain View Cem, provide a structural framework for tracing the early settlement patterns of the Oklahoma plains. The grid of section roads, such as Co Line RD and e1340 RD, remains the primary artery for movement between these rural communities and their local landmarks.
