It’s about the Wichita mountains.

But indians are part of the lore. The Fort Sill Army base used to house an Indian reservation. Telegraph wires traverse the whole area. When the Comanche indians got acted up for ‘wahtever’ they’d rampage, cut the telegraph lines, etc. This would have been around 1870s - 1920s. Geronimo’s stomping ground. Line men were needed to first run the lines then repair them.
I lived in Lawton for 9 years. I used to take walks along south boundary road on Ft. Sill. The telegraph lines are still there in many places. Also there are concrete lookout towers inside the base with bullet holes around the portals. Lots of creeks on base still have small piles of coal which were dropped off for the indians during reservation days.
A lineman would have a lot of work to do around that area during the 1870s - 1920s. The rocks were rounded because they are 500 million y.o..
Beautiful area. Arid but very beautiful. Love the smell of the plains too. Probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever lived in. Wish they still allowed open travel on the base.
Joshua Sill, the fort’s namesake, was a Union officer, so it is unlikely to be renamed, as are those military facilities named for Confederate soldiers.
