2017 Map of Alexandria

About this map

Alexandria anchors the northern border of this Thayer County landscape, where the Little Blue River carves a winding path through the central and southern sections. This agricultural region is defined by a strictly organized grid of rural roads, including Monument Rd and River Rd, which connect isolated farmsteads and small settlements. The southern portion of the quadrangle features the town of Gilead, situated along a prominent east-west transit corridor. Genealogists will find significant local history at several burial grounds scattered across the township, such as Alexandria Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Union Cem. Water resources are central to the area's geography, with the Big Sandy Creek in the northeast and man-made features like Hergott Reservoir and Fischer Reservoir providing essential water storage for the surrounding plains.
