1997 Map of Quanah Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

The Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern half of this landscape, showcasing a complex of granite peaks and deep canyons including Mount Lincoln, Elk Mountain, and Mount Marcy. Established early in the 20th century to protect remnant bison and wildlife, the refuge features specific preservation zones like the Charons Garden Wilderness and various recreation points such as Quanah Parker Lake and French Lake. Below the refuge boundary, the land transitions into the expansive Fort Sill Military Reservation, where the terrain flattens toward Post Oak Creek and Oak Creek. The human footprint is most visible at the Indiahoma Wye and the town of Cache, while legacy features like the Peprington Mine and numerous Lookout Towers reflect the area's mixed history of resource extraction, defense, and observation. Water management is central to this arid environment, evidenced by a network of engineered features like Burford Lake and Caddo Lake tucked into the mountain folds.
