About this map

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern half of this landscape, showcasing a complex terrain of peaks and canyons just before the mid-century revision. The map reveals a transition from the protected wildlife sanctuary into the northern reaches of the Fort Sill Military Reservation. Significant recreational and administrative sites appear throughout the refuge, including Headquarters, Parker Camp, and the uniquely named Official Dog Town.

Water management and natural drainage are central to the area's character, with French Lake, Quanah Parker Lake, and the winding West Cache Creek providing focal points. To the south, the rail-oriented settlement of Cache and the junction at Indiahoma Wye mark the edge of the mountains where the St Louis - San Francisco line traverses the plains. This 1956 field-checked data captures the area as a stable balance of conservation land and military training ground.
