In Kiowa County, Oklahoma, Devil's Canyon cuts a 1.5-mile gap in the rugged Wichita Mountains between Flat Top Mountain and Soldier's Spring Mountain before opening into the North Folk of the Red River. Spanish miners established a village there when they entered the region in the 1650s to search for mineral riches. The canyon also held the site of the Wichita village visited by the 1834 Dragoon Expedition, during which the United States held its first negotiations with members of the Kiowa, Comanche, and Wichita people.
