About this map

Rocky Ford and Acme anchor this portion of the Oklahoma landscape, where the Little Washita River and its numerous tributaries dictate the local geography. The area is defined by an extensive water management system, featuring several flood control structures including Little Washita Site 35 Reservoir, Site 17 Reservoir, and Site 50 Reservoir. These reservoirs, distributed along creeks like McCarty Cr and Charlie Cr, illustrate the region's reliance on managed water resources for agriculture and erosion control.

For those researching family history in Grady County, the map provides precise locations for Simpson Cem near Cottonwood Cr and Ridley Cem further south. The topography is largely uniform, with Gyp Hill standing out as a named landmark amidst a grid of rural section roads. The landscape transition between the Little Washita River and Little Beaver Cr reveals a pattern of dispersed homesteads and rural development characteristic of this part of the state in the early 21st century.
