2022 Map of Alton
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Alton serves as the focal point of this northern Kansas landscape, situated along the northern banks of the S Fork Solomon River. The topography is defined by the significant rise of the Alton Bluffs to the south, which separate the river valley from the higher plains where Medicine Cr originates. The map documents a structured grid of rural infrastructure, including Co RD 657 and Co RD 661, which connect the town to outlying agricultural lands. Genealogists will find notable value in the location of several historical burial grounds distributed across the townships, including Pioneer Cem west of town, Sumner Cem to the northeast, and Mount Ayr Cem at the southern edge of the survey area. These sites, along with the proximity of Crooked Cr, trace the early footprint of settlement in Osborne County.
