1984 Map of Gotebo NW

About this map

Strickland Cem and Elm Flat Cem anchor a landscape defined by traditional rural interment sites and water management in the mid-1980s. This Washita County terrain is marked by an extensive system of reservoirs, evidenced by numerous spillway elevations like those at Camp Spring Lake and along unnamed tributaries. The map documents the drainage patterns of South Fork Cavalry Creek and Cloud Creek, while recording the early industrial footprint of Gas Wells and scattered drill holes throughout the township lines. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of family or community burial grounds, including Rainey Cem, Odessa Cem, and Salem Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the area's agricultural settlement patterns during this era of Oklahoma history.
