About this map

Alma serves as the focal point of this Wabaunsee County landscape, where the confluence of West Branch Mill Creek and South Branch Mill Creek dictates the local geography. The settlement's residential grid is clearly defined, with the Alma Cemetery situated just to the west. This map illustrates a transition in transportation history, where local routes like Old K18 Rd and Old K10 Rd are shown alongside the modern interstate corridor.

The surrounding terrain is dissected by numerous waterways, including Antelope Creek and Hendricks Creek, which feed into the larger Mill Creek system. Family-named and descriptive road labels such as Stone Barn Rd, Hinerville Rd, and Tall Grass Rd reflect the agricultural heritage of the region. The map also captures specific natural features like Clapboard Canyon and various tributary branches, offering a detailed look at the drainage patterns of this Kansas prairie environment during the early 21st century.
