2022 Map of Alva NW

About this map

The Salt Fork Arkansas River flows through the southern section of this territory, defining a landscape marked by the transition from the high plains down to the river basin. Situated along the border between Oklahoma and Kansas, the region is characterized by a precise grid of rural roads such as Stateline Rd, Osage Rd, and Kiowa Rd that partition the land into sections. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Fairview Cem positioned centrally near Noble Rd, a quiet landmark in an area otherwise dominated by expansive ranching or agricultural tracts. Water sources are critical in this environment, evidenced by named features like Buffalo Spring and the drainage networks of Spring Cr and Driftwood Cr. The map captures the enduring rural layout of Woods County, reflecting a late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century reliance on this established transport and drainage infrastructure.
