About this map

The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern landscape of this post-war survey, where the rugged topography transitions into the Fort Sill Military Reservation. This era of development is marked by significant water management and recreation sites, including Medicine Park situated near the Lawton Dam and the expansive Lake Lawtonka. A unique cultural landmark, the site of the Easter Pageant, is noted near Mt Roosevelt, illustrating the area's role as a regional gathering place.

Further south, the town of Cache serves as a hub for the St Louis San Francisco railroad. Rural life is evidenced by the Spring Valley Sch and Cache Cem, while several landing strips and camp grounds suggest a landscape increasingly utilized for both military maneuvers and public leisure. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Mt Scott and Mt McKinley, which overlook a network of creeks including Blue Beaver Cr and Crater Creek.
