About this map

The agrarian landscape of Washita County is defined here by a comprehensive network of water management and rural burial grounds during the first decade of the 21st century. This area, located northwest of Gotebo, features an extensive system of reservoirs and dams along the tributaries of Cavalry Creek, including Oak Creek Site 3 Reservoir and Cavalry Creek Site 4 Reservoir. These structures reveal the intensive hydraulic engineering required to support the region's agricultural economy.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous legacy burial sites distributed across the grid-pattern road system. Landmarks such as Strickland Cemetery, Elm Flat Cemetery, Rainey Cemetery, Salem Cemetery, and Odessa Cemetery serve as the primary anchors for the surrounding rural community. Smaller water bodies like Camp Spring Lake and various creeks, such as Middle Bill Creek and Gyp Creek, further delineate the varied drainage patterns that intersect the township and range lines.
