1956 Map of Mount Scott

About this map

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge dominates this mid-century landscape, providing a protected habitat for native wildlife amidst the dramatic granite peaks of southwestern Oklahoma. The map reveals a unique cultural layer with The Holy City and Holy City Church, a destination for religious pageantry. To the south, the sprawling Fort Sill Military Reservation occupies a significant portion of the terrain, while the community of Medicine Park sits near the eastern shore of Lake Lawtonka. Transportation and recreation are centered around water features like Elmer Thomas Lake and the St Louis San Francisco railroad line passing through the town of Cache. From the Cache Cemetery to Craterville Park, the map documents a blend of military land use, public conservation, and local settlement history in Comanche County.
