Altus stands as a busy regional hub in Jackson County during the mid-1960s, defined by its extensive rail infrastructure and the presence of the Altus Air Force Base. The town layout is dense with civic landmarks, including the local Courthouse, City Hall, and several educational institutions such as the Jr College and Central Jr High Sch. The intersection of three major railroads—the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, the Missouri - Kansas - Texas, and the St Louis - San Francisco—underscores the city's importance as a transportation nexus for the surrounding agricultural plains. Beyond the city limits, the landscape is shaped by water management features like the Altus Canal and the Aqueduct, which support the irrigation needs of the Baucum and Martha areas.
