2018 Map of Almena SW

About this map

Prairie Dog Cr and its southern fork carve through the northern reaches of this Kansas landscape, defining a topography of drainage systems that flow toward the Buffalo Cr basin. This 2018 survey reveals the rural character of the borderlands between Norton and Phillips counties, where a geometric grid of section roads like Road N and Rd E 11 organizes the agricultural terrain. Two primary burial grounds, Zellmer Cem in the northeast and Mount Olive Cem in the center, serve as quiet landmarks for local genealogy and historical research. Smaller waterways including Cactus Cr, Wildcat Cr, and Skull Cr further detail the watershed patterns, while Highway 36 and Highway 383 provide the primary transit corridors through these high plains townships.
