your ancestors through time by
transcribing genealogical
and
historical data and placing it online for the free use of
all researchers.
This is
a
continuation of our
original Illinois
Trails History and
Genealogy
Project and we are
excited
about this opportunity to expand into other
states. The Historic Cotton County

I am sorry but we cannot do personal research at this time, so we
can continue to provide free genealogy to all.
We are looking
for a coordinator for this site.
We're
looking
for
folks
who share our
dedication to
putting data
online and are
interested in
helping
this
project be as helpful
and
useful to
researchers as it can be.

Cotton County is located in
southwestern Oklahoma
and is bordered by the Red
River on the south, with
Tillman
County on the
west,
Comanche County on the
north, and Stephens and
Jefferson counties on
the east. The topography is typical of a plains
environment, with a mixture of
grasses prevalent. The
western
edge
of the Cross Timbers invades
the county's
eastern
portion.
The creeks
and streams, including Cache
Creek,
drain to the
southeast into the Red
River. Cotton
County has 641.94 square miles of land and
water.
The federal government
platted five townsites for the Big Pasture
opening,

the latter two
in present Tillman
County.
Randlett is the only
original town still
incorporated.
