1956 Map of Fort Sill

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Fort Sill Military Reserve dominates this mid-century landscape, illustrating the complex intersection of federal military operations, indigenous history, and urban growth in Comanche County. The survey highlights the significant footprint of the Fort Sill Indian School Reservation and the Mt Scott Comanche Mission near the northern boundary. To the northwest, the resort character of Medicine Park contrasts with the structured quarters of Artillery Village and the sprawling technical facilities of the Fort Sill Airfield. Urban expansion in Lawton is meticulously tracked through 1970 revisions, showing the residential spread toward the Old Mil Res Bdy. The terrain is defined by tactical landmarks such as Medicine Bluffs and numerous named ridges, including Artillery Ridge and Snow Ridge, while the St Louis-San Francisco and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads provide the critical industrial backbone for the region's development.
