1956 Map of Glen Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Glen Mountains dominate the central landscape of this Oklahoma quadrangle, where the rugged topography gives way to the lower elevations around Cooperton to the northeast. Settlement in this portion of Kiowa County during the mid-1950s was characterized by sparse clusters of ranching or agricultural activity, with the St Louis San Francisco railroad cutting a diagonal line across the southwest corner. The landscape is marked by the presence of a Gold Mine (Abandoned) south of the primary peaks, reflecting early dreams of mineral wealth in the Wichita Mountains region. Hydrological features like Glen Creek, West Otter Creek, and Snyder Lake define the drainage patterns, while specialized recreational landmarks like the Swimming Pool near the northern boundary point to the social life of the local community. Large tracts of land, including Otter Creek and Mountain Park, indicate the division of this rocky terrain into managed areas.
