2016 Map of Altus SE

About this map

The Altus Canal cuts through the agrarian landscape south of Altus in Jackson County, showing the vital irrigation infrastructure of southwestern Oklahoma. This 2016 survey highlights a grid of section-line roads, such as Ridgecrest Rd and Co Rd E 173, that organize the vast agricultural fields characteristic of the region. Scattered throughout this rural network are points of significant interest for family historians, including Francis Cem and Elmer Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks of local heritage. The southern outskirts of Altus are visible near Mercury St and Libra St, while the Sheffield-Smith Airstrip illustrates the importance of private aviation in managing these expansive properties. This map effectively documents the intersection of modern municipal expansion and the enduring rural framework of the Oklahoma plains.
