1956 Map of Mount Scott

About this map

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge and the Fort Sill Military Reservation dominate this mid-century landscape in Comanche County. The map provides a look at the intersection of protected wilderness and military training grounds, featuring rugged peaks like Mount Scott and Mount Roosevelt. Water resources are central to the area's development, seen in the expansive Lake Lawtonka and Elmer Thomas Lake, which support the nearby resort community of Medicine Park. Cultural landmarks of the era are clearly marked, including the Holy City Chapel and the site of the Easter Pageant. To the south, the town of Cache serves as a gateway to the mountains, situated along the St Louis San Francisco railroad. The map also captures several landing strips, such as Ketch Field Landing Strip, and numerous family-named peaks and ridges that define the local geography before 1970s revisions.
