1942 Map of Cache

About this map

The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern half of this landscape, where granite peaks like Mt Scott and Mt McKinley overlook a network of man-made lakes including Quanah Parker Lake and Lake Jed Johnson. To the east, the rugged terrain of the McMaster Mountains gives way to the high-security boundary of the Fort Sill Military Reservation. This 1930s-era survey captures a rural Oklahoma community defined by its dispersed churches and schools, such as Devo Memorial Chapel and Spring Valley Sch, which served farming families between the mountains and the Base Line.
