1955 Map of Lawton

About this map

Wichita Mountains rise sharply above the southwestern Oklahoma plains, anchoring a landscape where military installations, wildlife conservation, and agriculture converge. The Fort Sill Military Reservation and the adjacent Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge dominate the north-central portion of the map, while prominent peaks like Mount Scott and Mount Pinchot provide vertical contrast to the surrounding section lines. This mid-century survey illustrates a mature agricultural and resource extraction economy, with numerous oil fields and gas wells scattered between established farming hubs.
