About this map

Almena serves as the focal point of this Norton County landscape, situated where the N Fork Prairie Dog Cr joins with Prairie Dog Cr. The town's grid is clearly defined by streets such as Pratt Ave and Main St, with a Po and a segment of Railway indicating its role as a local transit and service hub. The surrounding rural terrain is etched by an intricate network of waterways, including Horse Cr, Fancy Cr, and Buffalo Cr, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Twp Rd.

Family history researchers will find significant value in the distribution of several local burial sites scattered throughout the quadrangle. From Mount Hope Cem near the town center to the outlying Fairview Cem, Carlson Cem, and Farmingdale Cem, these landmarks provide a clear record of the area's rural community structure. The map captures the agricultural character of northern Kansas, where section-line roads like Road G navigate a landscape shaped by drainage basins and prairie creeks.
