1956 Map of Saddle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century Oklahoma study, where the abrupt transition from plains to craggy peaks is clearly defined. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Mount Scott, Mount Sheridan, and Mount Roosevelt, which rise sharply above the Refuge Boundary. To the north, the landscape shifts toward a rural agricultural and mission-based economy, evidenced by sites like the Cache Indian Mission and Saddle Mountain Indian Mission. Water sources are vital in this region, with the Lake Lawtonka reservoir and numerous smaller bodies like Tahoe Lake and Medicine Tank scattered throughout the valleys. For local historians, the map serves as a record of early community hubs, identifying schools like Alden School and Cache School, along with several rural cemeteries such as Meers Cemetery and Zodletone Cemetery that anchor the genealogy of these plains and peaks.
