About this map

The rolling landscape along the Comanche Co and Caddo Co border is defined by the significant hydrological systems of Lake Ellsworth and Lake Lawtonka. This 2022 survey captures the interface of rural residential expansion and conservation lands at the edge of the Wichita Mountains. Small communities like Edgewater Park, Lakeside Village, and Porter Hill anchor the eastern side of the quadrangle, while the western portion remains dominated by a network of drainage creeks including Chandler Cr, Ketch Cr, and Lime Cr.

For family historians, the map is particularly valuable for its precise location of legacy burial sites, including the Paradise Valley Cem near Miller Rd and the Mountain Scott Cem tucked against the hills. The survey also identifies the Mount Scott Cem in the southwestern corner, reflecting the deep cultural layering of the area. The dense network of county roads like Meers Porter Hill Rd and NW McIntosh Rd provides a clear framework for tracing property boundaries and access points within these tribal and historic landscapes.
