2012 Map of Altamont

About this map

Altamont serves as the central hub of this Labette County landscape, where the grid of the town site meets the sprawling agricultural layout of Southeast Kansas. The map documents several important community landmarks, including the Labette County Fairgrounds and the local Post Office located near the intersection of 6th St and Huston St. Outside the town center, the terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Spring Creek, Deer Creek, and Richland Creek, which wind through a section-line road network. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites scattered across the township, such as Hopewell Cemetery in the northwest and Elston Cemetery to the east. The southern portion of the quadrangle includes the Edna Municipal Airport and Idle Hour Lake, reflecting a mix of mid-century infrastructure and local water management.
