2012 Map of Altus

About this map

Altus Air Force Base dominates the eastern landscape of this Jackson County survey, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to military aviation. The urban center is flanked by smaller settlements such as Welon and Hightower, while the regional topography is defined by the drainage of Bitter Cr to the northwest and Stinking Cr to the east. The map records a concentration of aviation infrastructure beyond the main air base, including Altus/Quartz Mountain Regional Airport, Stewart Airport, and Scottys Field Airport. Local history is preserved through the inclusion of several burial grounds, such as Altus Cem, Frazier Cem, and Restlawn Memorial Park. Educational development is also marked by the campus of Western Oklahoma State Coll, providing a clear look at the community's civic and academic layout in the early 21st century.
