1950 Map of Saddle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge dominates the southern half of this landscape, encompassing a complex series of peaks and ridges including Mount Scott, Mount Sheridan, and Geronimo Ridge. This 1950s record documents the cultural footprint of the Kiowa, Caddo, and Comanche borderlands, highlighted by several religious outposts such as the Saddle Mountain Indian Mission, Cache Indian Mission, and Kiowa Mission. Settlement patterns are concentrated around the small village of Meers and the rural community at Alden, where Alden Sch and Alden Cem serve the local population. The map captures the rugged transition from the high peaks like Saddle Mountain and Zodletone Mountain down to the plains, where the Fort Sill Military Reservation begins its reach. Water management for the region is anchored by Lake Lawtonka in the southeast corner, fed by drainages like Medicine Creek.
