About this map

Elgin serves as the primary hub for this Oklahoma landscape, situated at the crossroads of regional transit and rural development in the early 2010s. The town's grid is flanked by the Elgin Memorial Cem and Saint Anns Cem, while residential expansion appears near the shoreline of Lake Ellsworth at the Lake Ellsworth Addition and Cove Acres. The southwestern corner of the sheet is notably dominated by the Ft Sill National Cem, a site of significant local and national heritage.

The physical geography is defined by a network of drainage systems and small water bodies like Ninemile Beaver Cr, Tony Cr, and Beef Cr. These waterways are complemented by numerous stock ponds and small reservoirs such as Hunting Horse Pond and Menard Pond. This pattern of land use reflects a mix of military presence, suburban residential growth along the water, and the enduring agricultural structure of the southern plains. Prominent landmarks like Treasure Island and the elevated terrain of Frisco Ridge provide distinct navigational points within this transition between prairie and improved lands.
