About this map

Sentinel serves as the primary hub of this Washita County landscape, organized around a rigid grid of residential and commercial streets such as E Main St, Washita St, and Grant St. The town's proximity to Elk Cr and its various tributaries defines the local geography, with the surrounding countryside dotted by numerous managed water features. These include the Upper Elk Creek Site 8 Reservoir, Upper Elk Creek Site 5 Reservoir, and Ridling Reservoir, which illustrate the region's historical reliance on water management for agriculture and local needs.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as the Sentinel Cem located just north of town and the more secluded Huckleby Cem to the southwest. The terrain is further etched by a network of drainage ways including Spring Cr and Little Elk Cr, which thread through the sections of the public land survey system. This 2016 record provides a clear view of the established road network, from the central intersection of Whitmer St to the rural expanses of E1300 Rd.
