About this map

Alma serves as the central hub of this Wabaunsee County landscape, situated near the confluence of Mill Creek and its various tributaries. The town's grid is established north of the West Branch Mill Creek, with the Alma Cem located on the western outskirts. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of named creek valleys and drainage patterns, including Antelope Cr and Paw Paw Cr to the north, and Pretty Cr to the east.

Rural infrastructure is marked by a network of roads often named for local landmarks or historical families, such as Stone Barn Rd, Brown School Rd, and Hinerville Rd. To the east, the topography becomes more pronounced at Clapboard Canyon, while the southern reaches follow the winding path of Hendricks Cr and Phillips Cr. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and ranching layout of the region, where modern transit corridors intersect with long-standing local landmarks like Iron Horse Rd.
