1956 Map of Richards Spur

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Richards Spur sits at the base of dramatic rocky outcrops in this mid-1950s survey of the northern edge of Fort Sill. The landscape is a mix of agricultural lowlands and ridges, notably where the St Louis-San Francisco railroad cuts through the terrain near a Quarry and Porter Hill. This era captures the rural community structure of Comanche County, showing institutional anchors such as the Cache Creek Mission, Stony Point School, and the Paradise Valley Church. Water management and natural drainage define the western half of the map, including the northern reaches of Lake Lawtonka, which is accompanied by an Abandoned fish hatchery. Numerous creeks, including Chandler Creek and Ketch Creek, weave through the foothills, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region before further modern development altered these drainage patterns.
