About this map

Indiahoma and the surrounding prairie of Comanche County are captured in this mid-century survey, which reveals the rural landscape just south of the Wichita Mountains. The settlement of Indiahoma sits in the northwest, oriented along the St Louis - San Francisco railroad line, a vital transportation corridor for the region's agricultural economy. Further east, the town of Cache borders the edge of Wichita Park, providing a window into the development of local communities along the boundary of protected lands.

The drainage patterns of Post Oak Creek, Sandy Creek, and Little Post Oak Creek define the geography, flowing southward toward the Tillman County line. A notable cultural landmark is the Nazarene Indian Mission, situated in the northeastern quadrant. The map reflects a period of transition, with 1970s photorevisions overlaid on the 1950s base, showing the evolution of road networks and property improvements during the post-war era.
