Caddo County in west-central Oklahoma is organized around Anadarko, with Carnegie, Fort Cobb, Binger, Lookeba, Hinton, Apache, Cyril, and smaller communities spread across broad hills and river valleys. State Highway 9 links Anadarko with the Fort Cobb and Carnegie side, while U.S. 281 and State Highway 8 provide a strong north-south reference through Anadarko. Highways 152, 37, and 58 organize the north, and U.S. 62 with Highways 19 and 277 help locate the southern communities. This page compares roads and settlements, city distribution, waterways, and elevation, and high-resolution JPG originals of all four supplied maps are available in the download ZIP.
Anadarko sits in the central-eastern part of the county and serves as the administrative center. Carnegie and Fort Cobb lie west, Hinton is northeast, and Apache and Cyril provide southern references. The physical setting is equally varied. High terrain dominates the northwest and the far southwest, while the Washita River cuts a broad low corridor across the middle and lower green terrain expands toward the east and southeast.

Anadarko connects the central roads with Carnegie, Hinton, and Apache
The general map places Anadarko slightly east of center, with the clearest concentration of streets, railway, and major roads. Oklahoma’s District Attorneys Council lists the Caddo County Courthouse on Southwest 2nd Street in Anadarko, confirming the city’s administrative role. State Highway 9 heads west toward Fort Cobb and Carnegie, while U.S. 281 and Highway 8 run north-south through the Anadarko area.
Carnegie lies near the western side of the county and connects toward the central corridor by the Highway 9 system. Fort Cobb sits east of Carnegie beside the reservoir area. Farther north, Binger and Lookeba occupy the Highway 152 and 37 side of the county, while Hinton forms a separate northeastern center close to the Canadian County direction.
Apache provides the strongest southern reference around U.S. 62, while Cyril lies farther east near Highways 19 and 277. Cement appears in the southeastern interior, and Verden is shown just beyond the eastern county boundary. The irregular eastern outline makes these edge communities useful for understanding how Caddo County meets Grady and Comanche counties.
The road network becomes more curved around the reservoir, river valleys, and the western and southern hills. Straight rural roads still cover much of the county, but terrain interrupts the grid more often than in flatter parts of Oklahoma. The supplied map is a geographic reference rather than a live navigation product, so current construction, closures, and travel times should be checked separately.
Six highlighted communities reveal the county’s wide spacing
The city-distribution view highlights Anadarko, Hinton, Carnegie, Hydro, Apache, and Cyril. Anadarko anchors the central-east, Hinton lies northeast, Carnegie sits west, Hydro is near the northwestern edge, and Apache and Cyril occupy the south. Removing most secondary road labels makes the large rural gaps between these communities much easier to compare.
The CITY INDEX prints values beside the six place names, but those figures belong to the supplied map and are not reused here as current official population estimates. Census reference dates can differ. The durable information is the arrangement: Anadarko is the county-center reference, Hinton the northeast, Carnegie and Hydro the west and northwest, and Apache and Cyril the southern side.
Returning to the general map adds the transportation relationships. U.S. 281 and Highway 8 connect the Anadarko and Apache side, while Hinton relates more closely to Highway 37 and the northern road network. Carnegie is tied to the reservoir and western Washita country, and Cyril connects into the southeastern routes around Highways 19 and 277.
Washita River and Fort Cobb Reservoir define the central water network
The Washita River is the strongest water feature on the supplied map. It enters from the west, makes broad bends through the middle of Caddo County, and continues east through a low valley. Fort Cobb Reservoir lies just north of the river system in the west-central county, and the same corridor appears as a broad green lowland on the elevation map.
Fort Cobb Reservoir is the largest mapped waterbody within the county. Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation places Fort Cobb Lake in Caddo County about five miles north of Fort Cobb on State Highway 9 and reports a surface area of roughly 4,100 acres. Fort Cobb State Park manages campgrounds, boat access, fishing facilities, and other recreation around the lake.
Sugar Creek descends through the northeastern interior, while Spring Creek follows a separate valley farther east toward the Lake Chickasha side. Smaller waters such as Salyer Lake, Hunt Lake, and Zobisch Lake provide useful local landmarks. In the south, East Cache Creek and the Little Washita River drain separate valleys, and Lake Ellsworth appears just beyond the southern edge.
Oklahoma’s Fort Cobb WMA description adds useful context to the reservoir landscape, noting upland, floodplain, and creek-bottom habitats around the north end of the lake and tributaries including Willow Creek, Lake Creek, and Cobb Creek. The supplied water map remains a geographic reference only. It is not a flood-hazard map, legal water-boundary record, current depth or discharge chart, fishing-regulation guide, or navigation product.
Elevation from about 340 to 643 meters separates high western hills from low river country
The elevation legend reports an actual county range of about 340 to 643 meters, with a mean near 433 meters. The highest brown terrain occupies large areas of the northwest and the far southwest, with additional uplands across the north-central county. The Washita River corridor and much of the east and southeast are distinctly lower and greener.
The northwest contains some of the broadest high ground. Short tributaries cut repeatedly into orange and brown uplands and descend toward the central drainage network. Around Hinton and Lookeba, elevations begin to fall, and the Sugar Creek system forms a lower passage toward the interior.
The far southwest rises sharply again west of the Apache side. East Cache Creek and many unnamed tributaries carve low channels through that high ground. By contrast, the Anadarko side and the southeastern county contain much larger areas of dark green, making the transition from uplands to low river country one of the clearest features of the map.
Brown represents the high end of Caddo County’s local elevation scale, with the supplied map reaching about 643 meters. The layer is intended for county-scale terrain comparison, not site engineering. Exact parcel elevations, road grades, drainage design, and construction measurements should come from original USGS elevation data or a professional survey.
From Fort Cobb through Anadarko, terrain drops toward the east
Fort Cobb Reservoir provides a useful western starting point because lake, river, and upland terrain meet in a relatively small area. North and west of the reservoir, elevations rise into warmer colors, while the Washita River creates a lower passage south of the lake. Highway 9 crosses this transition on the way toward Anadarko.
North of Anadarko toward Gracemont and Binger, Sugar Creek and its tributaries descend from higher northern terrain. Eastward, the Washita valley broadens and elevation colors become greener. Hinton occupies another transition zone in the northeast, where the ground is lower than the highest northwest but still more elevated than much of the southeastern county.
The southern side adds a second contrast. West of Apache, high terrain and East Cache Creek valleys alternate rapidly, while the Cyril side contains broader low green areas. Combining the road, water, and elevation maps shows Caddo County as a meeting place of western uplands, a central river corridor, and lower eastern terrain rather than a uniform plain.
Choose the Caddo County map for roads, settlements, water, or relief
Use the general county map when you need Anadarko, Carnegie, Fort Cobb, Hinton, Binger, Apache, Cyril, State Highways 9, 37, 58, 146, and 152, or U.S. 281 and 62 together. The city-distribution view is cleaner for comparing the six highlighted communities. Choose the water map for the Washita River, Fort Cobb Reservoir, Sugar Creek, Spring Creek, and the southern drainage network.
The elevation map is the clearest choice for comparing the high northwest and southwest with the Washita River lowland and lower east. The WebP previews on the page are convenient for quick viewing, while the high-resolution JPG originals in the ZIP below are better for printing and zooming into small road and stream labels. These maps are regional reference products and should not replace legal parcel records, live navigation, flood determinations, or survey-grade elevation data.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are Anadarko and Fort Cobb Reservoir positioned on the map?
Anadarko lies in the central-eastern county, while Fort Cobb Reservoir is to the west. State Highway 9 provides the clearest east-west road reference, and the Washita River follows the lower terrain south of the reservoir and north of the Anadarko side.
Where does the Washita River run through Caddo County?
The river enters from the west, bends across the central county, and continues east through a broad low valley. It is the strongest watercourse on the supplied map and appears as the same long green corridor on the elevation layer.
Can the 340–643 meter elevation range be used for surveying?
No. The elevation layer is intended for county-scale comparison of high western terrain, the Washita River valley, and lower eastern land. Exact parcel elevations, road grades, drainage design, and construction measurements should come from original USGS data or a professional survey.
