About this map

The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge dominates this landscape, where high peaks like Mt Scott and Mt Roosevelt rise above a complex network of reservoirs and military land. This mid-century survey reveals a transition between the recreation area and the Fort Sill Military Reservation, which occupies much of the southern and eastern territory. Notable cultural landmarks include the Easter Pageant site near Mt Roosevelt, reflecting the region's historical community traditions.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around the resort town of Medicine Park near the shores of Lake Lawtonka and the town of Cache to the southwest. The St Louis - San Francisco railroad cuts through the southern plains, passing the Cache Cem and Spring Valley Sch. The map also captures several smaller water bodies such as Lake Jed Johnson and Thomas Lake, along with specialized locations like Ketch Ranch and Craterville Park.
