2012 Map of Alma

About this map

Alma serves as the focal point of this Wabaunsee County landscape, where the local community structure is anchored by the Wabaunsee County Fairgrounds and the Post Office near the intersection of Nebraska St and E 6th St. The town is situated just north of the meandering Mill Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including S Br Mill Cr and W Br Mill Cr. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of named drainage systems such as Antelope Cr, Paw Paw Cr, and Pretty Cr, highlighting the importance of water management in this part of Kansas. Notable landmarks for local history include the Alma Cem and the distinct geological formation of Clapboard Ravine Canyon to the east. The map also traces the modern influence of the Interstate highway cutting through the rural northern sections near Hinerville Rd.
