The Mississippi River creates a dynamic western boundary for this 1932 survey, characterized by a complex network of backwaters such as Buffalo Slough, Pomme de Terre Slough, and the West Newton Chute. The town of Alma is perched along the narrow terrace between the river and the steep bluffs, served by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy RR and State Highway No 35. Further inland, the terrain breaks into a series of ridges and valleys, including Norwegian Valley and German Valley Creek, reflecting the ethnic settlement patterns of the Driftless Area.
