About this map

The Fort Sill Military Reservation dominates the landscape north of Lawton, marking a transition between the city’s urban grid and the dramatic elevations of the Wichita Mountains. This 1981 survey illustrates the city’s significant expansion southward and westward toward Lawton Municipal Airport and Cameron University. To the northwest, the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge preserves a cluster of peaks including Mount Scott, Mount Sheridan, and Mount McKinley, surrounded by significant water features like Lake Lawtonka and Lake Ellsworth. The transportation network is defined by the H.E. Bailey Turnpike and the intersecting lines of the St Louis-San Francisco RR and Chicago Rock Island & Pacific RR, which helped establish regional hubs such as Cache, Apache, and Elgin.
