1956 Map of Mount Scott

About this map

The dramatic geography of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge dominates this mid-century survey, where sharp peaks like Mount Scott and Mount Roosevelt overlook a complex network of canyons and creeks. Cultural landmarks such as The Holy City and its associated Holy City Church appear alongside recreational areas like Medicine Park and Craterville Park. To the south, the landscape transitions into the expansive Fort Sill Military Reservation, showing a pattern of military utility with names like Ketch Field Landing Strip and the Signal Mountain Road. The town of Cache sits at the southern edge of the mountains, served by the St Louis San Francisco railroad. This map illustrates the intersection of federal conservation, military training grounds, and early twentieth-century tourism sites that characterized this portion of Comanche County before modern development intensified.
