Agricultural patterns and water management define this landscape south of the city, dominated by the engineered path of the Altus Canal. The map reveals a strictly gridded rural layout partitioned by an extensive network of local roads such as Ridgecrest Rd and E 1650 Rd. This infrastructure supports a farming economy that relies on irrigation and efficient transit. Local genealogy and history are preserved in small, localized sites like Francis Cemetery in the east and Elmer Cemetery in the southwest corner. The presence of the Sheffield- Smith Airstrip highlights the importance of private aviation in managing these expansive southwestern Oklahoma landholdings during the early 21st century.
