2010 Map of Altus

About this map

Altus is the central hub of this Jackson County landscape, characterized by a grid-like urban center that transitions into sprawling aviation and military infrastructure. To the east, the expansive Altus Air Force Base dominates the periphery, while multiple aviation sites including Altus Municipal Airport, Stewart Airport, and Scotty's Field underscore the area's importance to flight operations. Water management is central to the local geography, evidenced by the Altus City Reservoir Dam and the Altus Reservoir Dam near the city center, as well as the Oknoname 031008 Reservoir to the north. These features reflect a community engineered for both strategic defense and local resource management. Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds marked: Altus Cemetery near the city core, Restlawn Memorial Park to the north, and Frazier Cemetery at the southwestern edge. The landscape is drained by Bitter Creek in the northwest and Stinking Creek to the southeast, following the natural contours of the Oklahoma plains.
