1956 Map of Odetta

About this map

The St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts a straight path through the southwestern Oklahoma plains, serving the small settlement of Odetta as it travels toward the Kiowa County and Comanche County line. The landscape transitions sharply in the northeast, where the granite rises of the Wichita Mountains emerge. Significant landmarks include Charons Garden Mountain and Sunset Peak, situated within the protected bounds of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. This survey captures the region during a period of administrative stability, showing the eastern edge of the quadrangle dominated by the Fort Sill Military Reservation. Water sources such as Cottonwood Spring and Sandy Creek provide vital drainage for the rugged Bad Lands and Broken Hills terrain that defines the high ground north of the rail line.
