2017 Map of Altona

About this map

Altona sits along the northern edge of this survey where the county line separates Wayne and Cuming. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Plum Cr and Sand Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections and section lines. Further south, the town of Wisner borders the edge of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural roads including Road S and RD Y. Local history is anchored by the Norwegian Cem located near the southern border, a marker of the area's ancestral settlement patterns. The map detail highlights the grid-like organization of the Nebraska plains, where named water features like Kane Cr and human-made channels such as Dry Ditch intersect with a meticulously surveyed network of section roads.
