2015 Map of Alton SW

About this map

Round Mound and Pilot Mound rise as prominent topographic landmarks above the rural landscape of Osborne County. This high plains terrain is defined by a strictly surveyed section-line grid of rural routes such as S 270th Ave and W 200th Dr. Natural drainage follows the meandering courses of Medicine Cr and Kill Cr, which carve subtle valleys through the agricultural sections. For genealogists and local historians, the Round Mound Cem stands as a primary point of interest, located in the southern portion of the quadrangle near its namesake landform. The map provides a clear look at the late twentieth-century rural infrastructure, showing the transition between township boundaries like t8s r15w and t9s r15w in an area where the economy remains tied to the land and the drainage of the Solomon River watershed.
