2017 Map of Altona NE

About this map

The border of Wayne Co and Thurston Co defines this stretch of the Nebraska plains, where agricultural land management is visible through a network of precisely gridded roads. The most prominent hydrological feature is the Logan Creek-Dredge, a straightened watercourse that indicates the historical efforts to manage drainage in this region. This channel stands in contrast to the winding path of the Old Channel Logan Creek, which remains as a trace of the original natural waterway. For those researching local heritage, the Pleasant Valley Cem provides a specific point of genealogical interest along 850th Rd. The landscape is further shaped by several small tributaries, including Coon Cr and Rattlesnake Cr, which cut through the township sections as the terrain transitions into the subtle draws and rises of the surrounding prairie.
