2018 Map of Alva

About this map

Alva serves as the focal point of this Woods County survey, situated where the Salt Fork Arkansas River curves southward through the plains. The town's grid is meticulously detailed, showing the layout of central streets from Mill St down to Oklahoma Blvd. Significant for local history and genealogy, the map identifies several burial grounds including Alva Municipal Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and the more distant Lutheran Cem to the southeast. Aviation infrastructure is a notable modern development here, with both the Alva Regional Airport and the smaller Woodlake Airport serving the region. Outside the municipal limits, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Turkey Cr and Little Eagle Chief Cr, which drain into a network of small water bodies like Bouziden Lake and Discon Lake, indicating the importance of water management in this agricultural region.
