Flipper's Ditch at Martha Songbird Park is part of Fort Sill's storm water drainage system and was engineered in 1878 by Lt. Henry O. Flipper. It eliminated stagnant malarial ponds and swamps created during the rainy season and did much to improve the health of the post. Draining north into Medicine Bluff Creek, it continues to control flood waters and erosion in this area today.
