About this map

Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge and the North Mountain Wilderness dominate this corner of the Oklahoma landscape during the early 1990s. The map illustrates a high concentration of named terrain features and water sources, including the prominent peaks of Saddle Mountain and Blue Mountain to the north, and Mount Lauramac and Moko Mountain to the south. Between these elevations, a network of canyons and flats, such as Hobbs Canyon and Antelope Flat, defines the local topography.

Local history is anchored by the Saddle Mountain Cem and the nearby Saddle Mountain settlement, while the transition between Kiowa and Comanche counties is clearly delineated across the northern range. The map details several smaller water bodies and springs essential to this environment, such as Grama Lake, Comanche Lake, and Hourigan Spring. This survey records the area just before modern development began to further shift the use of these protected wilderness areas.
