2009 Map of Ninemile Creek

About this map

Ninemile Creek and East Cache Creek define the drainage of this landscape on the eastern outskirts of Lawton during the early 21st century. The map reveals a transition from dense residential subdivisions to the west into a more open, rural-residential pattern defined by large lots and private aviation infrastructure. Unique to this quadrangle is the concentration of small landing facilities, including the Hill Top/Private Airport, Hilltop Landing Strip, and the Jerry-Wright Airfield, suggesting a community with significant private flight activity. Water management is a dominant theme of the local terrain, as evidenced by numerous small impoundments such as the Oknoname 031054 Reservoir and several named dams like Oknoname 031033 Dam. The settlement at Lawton Downs anchor the northern portion of the sheet, while the southern reaches remain relatively open around the lower course of Gooden Creek.
