2022 Map of Alva

About this map

The city of Alva serves as the focal point of this Northwest Oklahoma survey, situated along the Salt Fork Arkansas River. The town's layout is centered around the Woods County Courthouse and the campus of Northwestern Oklahoma State University, which dominates the southern portion of the urban grid. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into a network of section roads and watercourses like Turkey Cr and Little Eagle Chief Cr. Small settlements and landmarks such as Noel and several burial grounds, including the Alva Municipal Cem and Lutheran Cem, provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing family roots in Woods County. The presence of Bouziden Lake and Discon Lake west of the city highlights the local water management and recreation patterns in this prairie environment.
