About this map

Lake Altus dominates the central landscape of this Greer and Kiowa County border region, serving as a primary hydrological feature fed by the Elm Fork Red River and Armstrong Cr. The terrain is defined by the significant elevations of the Wichita Mountains, including the prominent Quartz Mtn, Baldy Point, and King Mtn. These granite peaks rise sharply from the surrounding plains, creating a distinctive topography that has historically influenced the development of the area's settlements.

On the western edge, the town of Granite is situated near the State of Oklahoma Reformatory Lake, while the smaller community of Lugert sits at the foot of Mt Lugert near the lake's southern dam. Genealogists can locate several burial sites, such as Granite Cem and Quartz Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the local infrastructure, showing the transition from grid-patterned township roads to the specialized streets of Lone Wolf in the northeast corner.
