Devil's Canyon, Archaeological site in Kiowa County, Oklahoma, United States
Devil's Canyon cuts through the Wichita Mountains for 1.5 miles between Flat Top Mountain and Soldier's Spring Mountain, reaching the North Fork of Red River.
In 1834, Colonel Henry Dodge and United States troops organized the first formal meeting between the government and Plains Indians at the Wichita village within Devil's Canyon.
The archaeological site contains evidence of multiple Native American settlements, including Kiowa, Comanche, and Wichita tribes who inhabited the area during different periods.
The site spans 738 acres and received recognition from the National Register of Historic Places in June 1972, with coordinates at 34.8358° N latitude and -99.2553° W longitude.
Spanish miners established a village in Devil's Canyon during the 1650s while searching for mineral deposits, marking early European presence in this Oklahoma region.
