About this map

Sentinel serves as the primary hub of this Washita County landscape, where the town’s grid is anchored by a local Post Office and central streets like Washington and Lincoln. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal waterways, including Spring Creek and Trail Creek, which feed into the larger Elk Creek drainage system. These creeks create a rolling topography that breaks the geometric regularity of the section lines and rural road network.

Local history is preserved in sites like Sentinel Cemetery north of town and the more secluded Huckleby Cemetery located near the banks of Elk Creek. To the east, the Riding Reservoir provides a managed water source amidst the vast agricultural tracts. The map details the transition from the town center to the expansive farming and ranching sections of t8n r19w and t9n r18w, capturing the character of Western Oklahoma’s rural infrastructure.
