About this map

Lake Coldwater anchors the northern reaches of this Comanche County landscape, serving as a focal point for recreation alongside Coldwater Recreation Park and the Coldwater Country Club. The terrain transitions from these water-side amenities into the rural expanses of Coldwater and Avilla townships, characterized by the drainage of Cavalry Creek and Nescatunga Creek. An interesting detail for researchers is the inclusion of aerial-photograph-derived fence and field lines, offering a glimpse into the late-1970s agricultural boundaries.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Salt Fork Arkansas River cuts through the plains near Avilla Cem. Infrastructure related to the region's energy resources is evident through several Gas Wells located in the northeast. Small points of local significance, such as Camp Lark and the landmark known as Dodson, provide specific coordinates for those tracing family history or regional land use during this era.
