2015 Map of Alta Vista

About this map

Alta Vista sits near the northern edge of this map, established at the crossing of high prairie and the headwaters of the Munkers Cr system. The town's grid is clearly defined by historical thoroughfares like Main St and Railroad St, reflecting its identity as an upland rail and trade center. The surrounding landscape in the southern half of the quadrangle is dominated by the complex drainage of the Middle Br Munkers Cr and East Br Munkers Cr, which carve through the Flint Hills terrain. Local family and community history is preserved at the Alta Vista Cem, Bemoan Cem, and Garfield Cem. A notable geographic thread is the Mormon Trail Rd, a modern name reflecting the deep historical roots of the overland routes that once traversed this portion of Wabaunsee and Morris counties.
