About this map

The town of Temple serves as the primary hub in this corner of Cotton County, Oklahoma, surrounded by a systematic grid of section roads like Lone Star Rd. The landscape is defined by the expansive western shoreline of Waurika Lake, which dominates the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Local hydrology is further marked by a series of north-south waterways including Whiskey Creek, Mills Creek, and the confluence area of Beaver Creek and Little Beaver Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Temple Cemetery south of the main town site, near the Temple Airport Incorporated Airport. Smaller named locations such as Fivemile Corner and Mills reflect the dispersed rural settlement patterns typical of this era. The presence of the Oknoname 033008 Dam suggests local water management efforts amidst the agricultural plains and the larger reservoir system.
