About this map

Velma serves as the primary hub of this Stephens County landscape, where the grid of residential streets like Comet Ave and Segler St meets the rural agricultural surrounding territory. The area's settlement history is preserved in several local burial grounds, including Velma Cem, Passmore Cem, and Parks Cem to the southwest. Further south, the small community of Santa Fe sits near the intersection of Sunray Rd and n2975 RD.

Water management defines the drainage patterns north of the town center, where several numbered reservoirs, such as Wildhorse Creek Site 16 Reservoir and Wildhorse Creek Site 35 Reservoir, regulate the flow of Wildhorse Cr. These man-made features are interspersed with natural tributaries like Pine Cr and Negro Cr, illustrating the modern balance of ranching and water conservation in south-central Oklahoma.
