About this map

Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern half of this landscape, where the granite peaks of the Wichita Mountains rise abruptly from the plains. Mount Scott stands as a primary landmark near Lake Lawtonka, overlooking a complex system of reservoirs including Elmer Thomas Lake and Lake Jed Johnson. The map reveals the unique spiritual and recreational footprint of the era, from the grounds of The Holy City to the resort character of Medicine Park.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the Fort Sill Military Reservation, marked by rugged artillery ranges and tactical routes like Signal Mountain Road and Mc Kenzie Hill Road. Settlement is concentrated at the southern fringe in Cache, where local history is anchored by Komah Mem Ch and the Cache Cemetery. The transition from protected wildlife habitat to active military training grounds illustrates the dual nature of this Comanche County terrain.
