Reporting my post, this oddity occurred in Wichita County, Texas, northeast of Wichita Falls.

An uncle was stationed at Sheppard AFB...even earlier, family lived in Randlette, Oklahoma a bit further north.

Nice of the guy to return things -- not sure thigns worked out the way he intended!

There is a Wichita River, flows through the County & into Wichita Falls.

Good recall of US geography to come up with Wichita, Kansas, @GuyfromCanada !

I would most likely fail any test of Canandian place names. Unless accurately placed in Corner Gas?
