Altus anchors the northern edge of this Oklahoma landscape, where the town's residential grid meets the vast agricultural sections of Jackson County. The Altus Canal winds southward through the center of the sheet, providing essential water management for the surrounding farmland. This modern survey reflects the enduring section-line road system, including routes like Ridgecrest Rd and N2050 Rd, which define the region's geographic layout. Traces of local heritage are preserved at the Francis Cem in the east and Elmer Cem near the southern border. The presence of the Sheffield-Smith Airstrip near the center of the quadrangle highlights the intersection of rural life and private aviation in the high plains. The landscape is primarily defined by its wide, open drainage patterns and a strictly organized network of county roads.
