1956 Map of Arbuckle Hill

About this map

Fort Sill Military Reservation dominates this mid-century Oklahoma landscape, showing a complex network of training grounds and tactical landmarks. The terrain is defined by named rises such as Geronimo Hill, Comanche Hill, and Arbuckle Hill, providing a clear view of the area's geography before later development. In the southern portion of the reserve, the Fort Sill Indian School and a nearby Indian Cemetery mark significant cultural sites, while East Cache Creek and its tributary Wratton Creek flow through the training flats. The northeastern corner of the map reveals the emerging energy economy of the Zella area, dotted with an oil well and oil tanks. Transportation is anchored by the St Louis and San Francisco RR, which cuts diagonally across the northern panhandle near the settlement of Flagg.
