About this map

Fort Sill Indian School Reservation occupies the northwest corner of this landscape, marking a significant institutional presence in Comanche County during the mid-20th century. The terrain is defined by the convergence of East Cache Creek and its namesake tributary, Ninemile Creek. While much of the area reflects rural land use, the proliferation of oil wells and infrastructure such as a Substation and Pump house indicates an active energy extraction economy.

Educational and residential pockets are visible at the Flower Mound School and a nearby Trailer Park, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families from this era. Technological footprints are noted by multiple towers, including a Television relay tower and a Radio tower, which stand alongside water-related features like the small body of water labeled Slush. This survey, updated with 1970 photorevisions, documents the transition from traditional ranching or farming towards industrial utility and expanded communications.
