2014 Map of Alstown

About this map

Alstown sits at the edge of a high plateau in Douglas County, where the landscape is defined by the dramatic descent of the coulees into the Douglas Cr drainage. This 2014 survey captures a rural agricultural region crisscrossed by a grid of numbered section roads, such as Road 1 SW and Road 4 SW, which navigate the wheat fields and canyon rims. The land's history is anchored by modest community markers, including the Douglas Luthern Cem in the north and the Slack Cem located further south near Slack Canyon. These features, along with the proximity of Us-2, illustrate the enduring layout of the Big Bend country's transportation and settlement patterns. The map detail highlights the stark transition from the level agricultural uplands into deeply carved geological features like Titchenal Canyon and Mohr Canyon.
