About this map

The Lake Valley area of Washita County is defined by its complex network of water management sites and agricultural grid. This survey reveals a landscape transformed by numerous flood control structures, including Oak Cr Site 5 Reservoir, Oak Cr Site 10 Reservoir, and Oak Cr Site 8 Reservoir, which dot the drainages of Oak Cr and the Washita River. These man-made features sit alongside natural watercourses such as Wild Cat Cr and Trail Elk Cr, illustrating the intensive rural development of the early 21st century.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds scattered across the township, including Cloud Chief Cem in the northwest, Sharon Cem near the center, and Fesser Cem to the southeast. The map details an extensive section-line road system, such as E 1250 RD and n2340 RD, that facilitates the region's agricultural industry while connecting isolated farmsteads to the W Washita River valley.
