About this map

The town of Jet serves as the central hub of this Alfalfa County landscape, situated just south of the expansive Great Salt Plains Reservoir. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of mid-continent agriculture and significant water management, where the Salt Fork Arkansas River feeds into the reservoir. The town itself is organized along a grid including Magnolia St and Walnut St, surrounded by a section-line road network that defines the rural character of the region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds preserved in the surrounding countryside, including Milan Valley Cem to the southeast and Pleasant View Cem north of the town center. The hydrology is particularly detailed, tracing the paths of Wagon Cr, Twin Spring Cr, and Spring Cr as they drain toward the salt plains. These features reflect the enduring spatial layout of northern Oklahoma's wheat belt and the importance of the reservoir to the local environment.
