"Gloss Mountains View From the Trail" by Debra Martz

A conflict that continues today is, "What REALLY is the name of this Oklahoma landmark; Gloss or Glass Mountains?"
In 1873, the name Glass Mountains appeared on a map issued by the Federal General Land Office. Two years later, the same office issued another map calling them the Gloss Mountains. Perhaps the 2nd draftsman misread an A for an O?

A landscape featuring rolling red hills stretches toward the horizon beneath a partly cloudy sky. Sparse vegetation and a dirt path wind through the arid terrain, with a few structures visible in the distance. Photography by Debra Martz
