Quartz Mountains
The Quartz Mountains are an extension of the Wichita Mountains in the far southwestern part of the state of Oklahoma. The section extends west and northwest of the main Wichita range,separated by a plain dotted with smaller foothills. It is about east of Mangum and north of Altus. The tallest mountain in the range is Quartz Mountain at above sea level. The area is popular for rockclimbing on its weathered granite outcroppings and is home to Quartz Mountain State Park and Lake Altus-Lugert reservoir.〔(Christopher Neel and Richard A. Marston. "Quartz Mountains." ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture''. ) Accessed October 31, 2015.〕
According to the ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'', the range was originally formed about 550 million years ago as a "failed continental rift". It was uplifted about 300 million years ago and has since weathered into its current condition.〔
