2016 Map of Alva NW

About this map

The Salt Fork Arkansas River flows through the southern section of this borderland landscape, where the flat plains of north-central Oklahoma meet the southern boundary of Kansas. The area is defined by a rigid grid of section-line roads, including Stateline Rd, which separates Woods Co, Oklahoma from Barber Co, Kansas. This 2016 survey documents a rural environment dominated by agriculture and natural hydrology, with local water sources like Spring Cr and Driftwood Cr carving subtle drainage patterns through the terrain. A single dedicated burial ground, Fairview Cem, serves as a central landmark for genealogical research along Co Rd 430. The presence of Buffalo Spring in the west suggests the importance of natural water points in this arid prairie region.
