2014 Map of Altona

About this map

The small settlement of Altona sits near the northern boundary of Cuming County, marking a landscape defined by the agricultural grid and the winding paths of local waterways. This 2014 survey documents the area as it straddles the line between Wayne and Cuming counties, where the drainage of Plum Cr and Kane Cr shapes the northern terrain. To the south, the transit corridor of Us-275 and Ne-51 provides the primary infrastructure for the region, crossing over Sand Cr and the functional engineering of Dry Ditch. A notable point of local interest for genealogists and historians is the Norwegian Cem, which stands as a quiet marker of the ethnic heritage and early settlement patterns of this corner of Nebraska. The map reveals how the modern road network, including numerous rural routes like 848th RD and V RD, has been meticulously laid over the natural drainage basins.
