About this map

The city of Comanche serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, positioned at the intersection of Highway 81 and Highway 53. The town's layout is clearly defined, featuring a High Sch and infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal ponds on the outskirts. The industrial and agricultural character of the region is evident through numerous Oil Wells scattered across the township of Brown and the surrounding area. The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad runs north-south through the heart of the settlement, tracing a vital transportation corridor parallel to the highway.

Water management and recreation are represented by Comanche Lake in the northeast corner, complete with a Golf Course and a Roadside Park along its shores. The map also preserves significant historical boundary markers, including the Indian Oklahoma Territory line and the McPherson Line, which reflect the region's complex administrative past. Drainage is provided by several waterways including Cotton Creek, Cow Creek, and Dry Creek, which meander through the southern reaches of the quadrangle near the Price township area.
