2016 Map of Saddle Mountain

About this map

The boundary between Kiowa Co and Comanche Co divides the high, ridged landscape of the western Wichita Mountains. This 2016 survey documents a terrain dominated by significant peaks and drainage basins, including the notable Saddle Mountain and Blue Mtn in the north. Historically minded researchers will note the Saddle Mountain Cem near Saddle Mountain Cr, representing local heritage in this upland region. The southern half of the map is defined by a dense network of canyons and ridges, such as Geronimo Ridge and Moose Canyon, which feed into various water sources like Medicine Cr and W Cache Cr. These features, along with names like Black Bear Spring and Gray-Wolf Spring, reflect the local nomenclature tied to the area's geography and history.
