About this map

Alma serves as the focal point of this late 1980s Crawford County survey, illustrating the convergence of mid-century infrastructure and natural river geography. The Arkansas River and Ozark Lake dominate the southern landscape, separated from agricultural land and settlements like Yoestown and New Town by a significant Road on Levee. The region's spiritual and social history is deeply rooted in its rural corners, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds and congregations such as Twelve Corner Cem, Beal Cem, and Harmony Ch.

Industrial activity is marked by a Quarry near Courthouse Slough and extensive gas well development throughout the quadrangle. Transportation networks define the area’s growth, from the Missouri Pacific railroad tracks to the sprawling recreation areas like the Clear Creek Public Use Area. The map provides a detailed view of local education, specifically naming several campuses including High Sch and Stepping Stone Sch in the northern corridor.
