2010 Map of Lake Altus

About this map

Lake Altus dominates this Greer County landscape, formed by the Altus Dam where the North Fork Red River enters the Wichita Mountains region. The reservoir’s irregular shoreline is punctuated by prominent geological landmarks like Quartz Mountain, Baldy Point, and Twin Peaks, while the smaller State of Oklahoma Reformatory Lake and its associated State of Oklahoma Reformatory Dam sit to the northwest near the town of Granite. The settlement of Lugert is situated at the southern end of the lake, near the base of Mount Lugert and Williams Peak. For those researching local heritage, the map clearly identifies the Granite Cemetery and Quartz Cemetery, providing essential coordinates for family history. The transition from the flat agricultural plains of the north to the jagged peaks of the Quartz Mountains reflects a significant geological shift within this southwestern Oklahoma quadrangle.
