2010 Map of Sentinel

About this map

Sentinel serves as the primary hub of this Washita County landscape, where the town’s grid sits at the intersection of several county roads and State Highways 44 and 55. The surrounding area is defined by a series of North-South and East-West roads that segment the territory into regular agricultural plots. Water management is a significant feature of the terrain, visible through numerous flood control structures such as the Upper Elk Creek Site 10 Dam and Myron Straub Dam. The drainage network includes Spring Creek and the meandering Elk Creek, which flows south of the main townsite. Local history is anchored by the Sentinel Cemetery just north of town and the more isolated Huckleby Cemetery to the southwest, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in this part of Oklahoma.
