Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

Description: Photograph of part of the buffalo herd in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, Lawton, Oklahoma. This is the second largest herd of buffalo on the continent. The buffalo was the "department store" of the plains Indians, supplying them with practically all their needs. When the millions of buffalo that roamed the prairies were exterminated there were a few small herds saved and those have now grown to some 22,000 in North American game preserves. OK-79, 520.
