About this map

Temple stands as the primary hub of this landscape in southwestern Oklahoma, centered around a traditional grid of streets including W Main St and N Commercial Ave. The town is positioned just north of the Temple Cem and the Temple Airport Inc, serving as a gateway to the intricate network of county roads that define the surrounding agricultural plains. The landscape is characterized by its drainage into Waurika Lake to the east, with several local waterways such as Whiskey Cr and Mills Cr carving shallow paths through the terrain.

The map reveals the intersection of Cotton, Stephens, and Jefferson counties, illustrating how geopolitical boundaries align with the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. In the northern reaches, the confluence of Beaver Cr and Little Beaver Cr provides a natural contrast to the geometric precision of the township and range divisions. This survey captures a region where the rural economy and natural hydrology meet at the shores of the lake.
