About this map

The small community of Cooperton sits at the northwestern edge of a landscape defined by the dramatic transition from agricultural plains to the rocky elevations of the Wichita Mountains. This 1991 survey captures the southwestern corner of Oklahoma where the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge preserves significant peaks and plateaus, including Mount Pinchot and Baker Peak. The mapping detail reveals a network of natural springs and ephemeral drainages, such as Time-O-Day Spring and Sugar Creek Spring, which were vital to early settlement and livestock operations in this semi-arid environment.

Evidence of local history and land use is visible in features like the Springhill Cem and several named flats including Fullingim Flat and Lobo Flat. The county line between Kiowa and Comanche counties cuts through the central highlands, separating the western ranch lands from the protected wildlife refuge area. To the south, the terrain descends toward Hollis Canyon and Big Four Mountain, illustrating the complex geology of the Glen Mountains system.
