1956 Map of Cooperton

About this map

Cooperton stands as the primary settlement on the high plains of the Kiowa County and Comanche County line, marking a landscape where agricultural flats meet the dramatic granite rises of the Wichita Mountains. This mid-century survey captures a diverse terrain, from the sprawling reach of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge to the family-named landmarks of Marshall and the Saddle Mountain range. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the location of Springhill Cemetery and the various water sources that sustained early land use, such as Time-O-Day Spring, Buffalo Spring, and Sugar Creek Spring. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns of Otter Creek and Wichita Creek, which carve through the peaks of Grace Mountain and Mount Pinchot, providing a clear record of the area's geography before significant modern development altered the rural character of these southwestern Oklahoma townships.
