Lawton, OK

Lawton anchors southwestern Oklahoma about 85 miles from Oklahoma City via Interstate 44. The city sits near the Wichita Mountains and serves Fort Sill military base. Most visitors arrive on I-44 from OKC or take I-35 north from Dallas. The regional airport lies 3 miles south of downtown, and EV charging is available along major routes. Lawton claims the only mountain range between the Appalachians and Rockies, though the ancient Wichita peaks rise just 1,000 feet above the plains.
