About this map

The Wichita Mountains anchor the northwestern portion of this region, where the terrain breaks into distinct peaks like Mt Cummins and Signal Mtn. This landscape transitions into the administrative and military corridor of Lawton, characterized by the sprawling infrastructure of Henry Post Army Airfield (Fort Sill) and residential clusters such as Artillery Village and Sneed Acres. The historic presence of the military installation is underscored by the Fort Sill Post Cem, while the Indian Agency Cem to the south reflects the deeper cultural layers of the territory.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by Lake Lawtonka and numerous smaller catchments like Snow Pond and Rumbough Pond. Drainage from the heights follows Medicine Creek and Ketch Cr toward the lower plains. The resort community of Medicine Park sits at the edge of the mountains, positioned where the rugged granite hills meet the managed waterways, illustrating the early 20th-century intersection of recreation and resource engineering.
