About this map

Fort Sill and the northern reaches of Lawton define this 1991 survey, illustrating the extensive infrastructure of the Fort Sill Military Reservation alongside Comanche County communities. The map highlights significant tribal and cultural landmarks, including the Comanche Tribal Complex, Petarsy Indian Mission, and Comanche Mission. The geography is marked by the rugged Wichita Mountains, with prominent heights like Signal Mountain and Medicine Bluffs overlooking the valley of Medicine Creek.

Military and civilian life intersect at Artillery Village and various educational centers like the Geronimo Road School. To the north, the waters of Lake Lawtonka and the State Fish Hatchery near Medicine Park indicate the regional focus on water management and recreation. The detailed street grids of Lawton reveal neighborhood developments such as Snead Acres and Tapioa Park, while legacy features like Highland Cemetery provide valuable points of reference for local historians and genealogists.
