2009 Map of Alameda

About this map

Alameda sits at the center of this rural Kansas landscape, where the local economy is defined by the underlying Alameda Oil and Gas Field. Further south, the settlement of Basil marks the intersection of State Hwy 14 and SE 90 St, serving as another hub for the extensive Basil Oil and Gas Field. The terrain is etched by a series of north-south waterways, including Sand Creek, Blue Stem Creek, and Duck Creek, which dictated the early placement of family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find the Bethany Cemetery in the northeast and Hunt Cemetery near the southern fields, providing specific locations for local family research. The grid of section roads, such as S Berry Ave and SE 100 St, illustrates the persistent agricultural and industrial structure of Kingman County during this era.
