1956 Map of Quanah Mountain

About this map

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge occupies the northern half of this terrain, where the landscape is defined by a dense concentration of named peaks including Mount Lincoln, Quanah Mountain, and Elk Mountain. The boundary between the refuge and the Fort Sill Military Reservation to the south creates a sharp contrast in land use, with the northern section dedicated to conservation and the southern section to military operations. Key infrastructure like the St Louis - San Francisco railroad and the Scenic Highway facilitate movement through this complex geography. Water management is evident through numerous reservoirs such as Quanah Parker Lake, French Lake, and Caddo Lake. The presence of Official Dog Town and the Quanah Parker Camp suggests a blend of ecological study and public recreation in the mid-20th century. To the south, the communities of Cache and Indiahoma anchor the map at the edge of the military reservation.
