2010 Map of Stafford

About this map

Stafford and Ralph anchor this agricultural landscape in Custer County, where the plains are defined by an extensive network of water management features. The Washita River cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, while Barnitz Creek and its tributaries, West Barnitz Creek and East Barnitz Creek, dominate the central and northern drainage. This 2010 survey highlights a sophisticated system of flood control and irrigation, evidenced by numerous numbered sites like Barnitz Creek Site 57 Reservoir and the Butler Laterals Site 8 Dam. Local history is preserved at the Cabaniss Cemetery and Valley View Cemetery, while the Sunnyside Community Hall suggests a focal point for the rural population. The grid of section roads, including E 0980 RD and N 2200 RD, provides the framework for the region's farms and homesteads, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Land Run and subsequent settlement patterns in western Oklahoma.
