About this map

Great Salt Plains Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this 2009 Alfalfa County survey, where the Salt Fork Arkansas River feeds into the northern reaches of the wildlife-rich basin. The terrain is defined by a grid of rural roads and the hydrological network of Sandy Creek and Powell Creek, which meander southward toward the lake. This edition reveals a specialized local economy and land use pattern through the presence of the Byron State Fish Hatchery, located near the intersection of several municipal roads. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Ware Cemetery in the northeastern quadrant, a key landmark for tracing family roots in this agricultural region. Smaller water bodies like Upper Dog Pond and Dog Pond further punctuate the landscape between the hatchery and the main reservoir.
