About this map

The agrarian landscape of Spink Township unfolds across this survey, centered on the community of Alsen and the neighboring Hill Side. The terrain is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid, including 307th St and Rockfield Ave, which facilitates access to the surrounding farmsteads. Local history is anchored at the Rockfield Cem, a small burial ground situated west of the main settlement.

Waterways like Brule Cr and Baptist Cr meander through the prairie, providing a natural contrast to the geometric precision of the roadway network. Near Greenfield, the presence of the Howard Field Airport suggests the continued importance of regional aviation in this rural part of Union County. The modern transportation era is represented by the Alsen Interchange, which links the local township roads to the primary north-south transit corridor.
