Chisholm Trail Lookout (Monument Hill)

Jefferson County · on E1910 Rd (Monument Rd) two miles east of Addington

The Pickens County Cowpunchers Association organized support for the construction of a memorial on Monument Hill east of Addington to commemorate cowboys who worked along the Chisholm Trail. Monument Hill was a prominent local landmark for drovers along the trail. The concrete obelisk on site was dedicated in April 1941. Granite plaques honoring Jesse Chisholm and members of the cowpunchers association were added in the early 1980s. The Oklahoma Centennial Commission sponsored the replacement of the granite plaques in 2007. The gravesite of Tom Lattimore, a Black cowboy and ranch hand, is nearby.
