2009 Map of Jet

About this map

The town of Jet serves as the focal point of this northern Oklahoma landscape, situated just south of the expansive Great Salt Plains Reservoir. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the intersection of intensive agriculture and major water management, with the Salt Fork Arkansas River feeding the reservoir behind the Great Salt Plains Dam. The surrounding terrain is defined by a systematic grid of section roads like E0230 Rd and N2720 Rd that navigate several drainage systems, including Wagon Creek and Twin Spring Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites recorded across the township, such as Pleasant View Cemetery, Milan Valley Cemetery, and Thrawl Cemetery, which provide clues to the settlement patterns of Alfalfa County.
