About this map

Almond and its surrounding rural township are defined by a rhythmic landscape of small lakes and agricultural tracts in the late 2010s. The settlement of Keene sits near the northern boundary, while West Almond marks a central crossroads, illustrating the dispersed residential patterns typical of this portion of Portage County. The survey identifies numerous community landmarks including Swan Field and several small water bodies such as Tamarack Lake, Patterson Lake, and Washburn Lake.

Genealogists will find this map particularly useful for its documentation of historical burial grounds that dot the countryside. Significant sites include Lone Pine Cem, North Almond Cem, Spiritland Cem, and East German Cem, alongside Saint Johns Cem and Guardian Angel Cem. These sites, often situated near family-named roads like Eckels Rd and Jessie Judd Rd, reflect the generational settlement and diverse heritage of the region.
