Quetone Overlook sits at 1,583 feet along the Wichita Mountains Byway, with the ground falling 117 feet within 600 meters of the viewpoint. The view faces 120°, roughly toward sunrise, and takes in a cluster of peaks to the east and southeast. Mount Scott, at 2,459 feet, stands 2.1 miles to the east-northeast, with Mount Scotts Boy closer in at 1.4 miles in the same direction. To the south-southeast, Rocky Hill rises 1.3 miles away at 1,705 feet, with Thompson Hill further out at 1.8 miles. Thomas Hill and Davidson Hill lie to the east-southeast, at 1.9 and 3.4 miles respectively. Because the overlook faces close to sunrise, morning light crosses the scene at a low angle; sunrise falls near 6:22 in June and near 7:39 in December, with sunset ranging from about 20:51 in June to 17:28 in December. Lawton is the nearest town, 13.1 miles to the southeast, while Duncan and Chickasha lie considerably farther out, at 38.1 and 41.9 miles respectively. The overlook offers a straightforward vantage point over the Wichita Mountains' eastern peaks without requiring a long detour from the byway.
