Mount Williams (Oklahoma)

For the town in Virginia, see Mount Williams, Virginia.

Mount Williams was a large artificial hill in Norman, Oklahoma. Built by the United States Navy as the backstop to a firing range, the hill became a minor landmark in the Norman area. It was named after the commander of the base at the time it was built. The hill was located near the Interstate 35/Robinson St. interchange. The hill was colloquially known as "Mount Norman", to Oklahomans outside of the greater Oklahoma City area. While many in the state referred to the hill as "Mount Norman", the hill was also known by locals as "Bullet Mountain" In 2006, the hill was demolished in order to make room for a Super Target. One of the access roads into the Target is named "Mount Williams Road" to commemorate the old hill. In addition to the many names this firing range was given: It was also named "The Jolly Green Giants Grave" for children that pasted by the area when I-35 was built.
