About this map

Fort Sill Military Reservation dominates this landscape in Comanche County, displaying the tactical and geographic layout of the artillery training grounds in the late 1980s. The terrain is defined by a series of named ridges and summits, including Arbuckle Hill, Geronimo Hill, and Comanche Hill, which overlook a network of watercourses like Wratten Creek and East Cache Creek. These natural features provided the varied elevations necessary for military maneuvers and range operations.

Evidence of the area's mixed heritage is found in the presence of Beef Creek Cem and Balitsos South Cem, located near the intersection of Dodge Hill Road and Old Military Reservation Rd. While the northern section is marked by the Frisco Ridge Landing Strip and the modern H E Bailey Turnpike, the southern portion shows the industrial footprint of the regional Oil Field and infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal facility near Quarry Hill.
