2013 Map of Alta

About this map

The town of Alta occupies the center of this agricultural landscape in Buena Vista County, Iowa. The street grid is detailed with residential and commercial corridors such as S Main St and Lake St, while the local civic presence is marked by the Buena Vista Fairgrounds on the town's eastern edge. A precise network of numbered section-line roads, including 540th St and 20th Ave, partitions the surrounding farmland into the classic Midwestern township and range pattern. Several watercourses drain the territory, notably the Little Maple River to the south and Brooke Cr to the northeast. The presence of Saint Andrews Dr and W Links Dr suggests modern residential developments and recreation areas extending from the traditional town center into the surrounding rural sections.
