2009 Map of Laverty

About this map

Laverty Cemetery and Pioneer Cemetery anchor the northern reaches of this Oklahoma landscape, reflecting the long-standing agricultural roots of the area south of Chickasha. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated system of water management along the Little Washita River and its tributaries, characterized by a series of numbered flood control structures. Significant landmarks like the Lake Lewis Burtschi Dam and Little Washita Site 38 Dam manage the flow of East Bills Creek and West Bills Creek. This network of dams and reservoirs, including Lake Wanda, highlights the 21st-century conservation efforts to stabilize the drainage basins of McCarty Creek and Bills Creek. A strict grid of rural roads, such as Pioneer Rd and Wyatt Rd, provides access to these remote water works and ancestral burial grounds like Woods Memorial Cemetery.
