2012 Map of Albaton

About this map

Missouri River currents define the western edge of this landscape, carving the prominent Winnebago Bend and Upper Omaha Mission Bend along the Iowa-Nebraska border. The interior terrain is organized by a precise grid of rural roads and drainage infrastructure, such as the Sand Hill Lake Ditch, which supports the agricultural character of Monona County. The small settlement of Albaton serves as a central landmark, situated near the Fairview Cemetery and the intersection of 120th St and Aspen Ave. To the east, the map records the location of Lossing near the junction of Co Hwy K42. This survey illustrates the relationship between the river's natural meanders and the managed irrigation and transport networks that have shaped this portion of the Missouri River valley into the early 21st century.
