Alfalfa County, Oklahoma

Alfalfa Location Map Oklahoma

Alfalfa County is in the northern reaches of Oklahoma. You’ll find a place with fields of wheat. The county got its name from a type of hay, if you can believe it.

Cherokee is the county seat, not a metropolis by any means. It’s small-town Oklahoma at its finest. Farmers here work hard, real hard.

But there’s more to this place than just agriculture. The Great Salt Plains are a sight to behold. Come here to dig for selenite crystals. It’s one of the only places in the world where you can find these hourglass-shaped gems.
