1991 Map of Bally Mountain

About this map

Bally Mountain and the surrounding peaks of the Wichita Mountains dominate this southwestern Oklahoma landscape, where the terrain breaks sharply into high ridges and narrow creek valleys. Surveyed in the late 1980s, the map reveals a sparsely populated ranching district defined by its topography rather than urban centers. The Ferrel Ranch Landing Strip and a prominent Radio Tower atop Zodletone Mountain represent the modern infrastructure of the era, while the Green Valley Cem near Pecan Creek offers a tangible connection to the area's rural heritage. Waterways like Saddle Mountain Creek and various unnamed springs provide the primary drainage for the rugged elevations of Longhorn Mountain and Saddle Mountain, which separate the flatlands of the southern plains from the stony heights of the quadrangle.
