2017 Map of Altona NW

About this map

The southeastern outskirts of Wayne and the surrounding agricultural landscape define this portion of Wayne County. The terrain is marked by the winding paths of S Logan Cr and Coon Cr, which drain the rolling prairie of northeast Nebraska. A key local landmark, the Wayne Municipal Airport/ Stan Morris Field, occupies the northwest corner near the city limits, while a network of rural roads such as Stringer Rd and 580th Ave organize the farmsteads of the region. For those researching local family history, the LaPorte Cem is a notable point of interest, located along 854th Rd. The map illustrates the persistent section-line grid system typical of the Great Plains, showing how drainage features like Kane Cr and Plum Cr intersect with human-made boundaries and transportation routes.
