1956 Map of Meers

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge occupies the southern portion of this landscape, where the terrain rises sharply into prominent peaks like Mount Sheridan and Mount Scott. The settlement of Meers serves as a local focal point near the Meers Cemetery, situated just north of the refuge boundary. The map illustrates a transitional geography where mountain foothills meet the waters of Lake Lawtonka, which dominates the southeastern corner. Religious and community life in the mid-1950s is evidenced by the Mission in the northeast and the Mount Scott Kiowa Mission near the lake's western shore. A network of waterways including Medicine Creek and Tahoe Creek drain the surrounding elevations of Saddle Mountain and Boone, while a solitary landing strip north of the refuge suggests the area's rural utility during this era.
