2014 Map of Altona NE

About this map

Wayne Co and Thurston Co meet along a straight north-south boundary line in this rural Nebraska landscape. The terrain is defined by the hydraulic history of its waterways, most notably the channelized Logan Creek Dredge, which runs alongside the meandering Old Channel Logan Creek. This juxtaposition illustrates decades of agricultural drainage efforts intended to manage the plains' watershed. Local history is anchored by the Pleasant Valley Cemetery in the southwest, while smaller tributaries like Coon Cr and Rattlesnake Cr feed the larger drainage system. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road network, including routes like Mackee Ave and 850th Rd, which segment the rolling farmland and connect isolated farmsteads.
