About this map

Harlan County Lake dominates this 2014 landscape, marking a massive aquatic border between the settled northern shore and the rugged south bank. The town of Alma sits at the reservoir's northwestern edge, defined by a grid of streets including W Main St and Everett Ave that transition into the Alma Municipal Airport. This modern survey illustrates how the water has transformed the geography, creating a series of prominent landforms like Pheasant Point, Sindt Point, and White Cat Point.

The map extends across the state line into Kansas, following the southern reaches of Prairie Dog Cr and Bone Cr. Genealogists and local historians will find the Republican City Cem on the eastern edge near Road 23, while landmarks such as Indian Hill and Coyote Canyon provide specific topographic context for the southern shoreline. This document captures the intersection of mid-continental transport via Us-136 and the recreational geography of the Republican River valley.
