2018 Map of Lake Valley

About this map

Lake Valley and the surrounding Washita County plains are defined by an intricate network of water management and rural burial grounds. The landscape is marked by a series of engineered catchments, including Oak Cr Site 10 Reservoir and Oak Cr Site 7 Reservoir, which support the agricultural economy of this Oklahoma region. The Washita River and its western branch snake through the eastern portion of the map, joined by local drainages such as Gyp Cr and Wild Cat Cr. For genealogists, the presence of the Cloud Chief Cem, Sharon Cem, and Fesser Cem offers specific points of interest for tracing family ties in the townships of T9N R16W and T8N R15W. The area's geography is further characterized by the substantial Lake Vanderwork, providing a primary water feature amidst the grid of section roads that organize the prairie.
