2010 Map of Altoona

About this map

Altoona and the surrounding Wilson County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Verdigris River as it moved through the Kansas landscape in the early 21st century. This map documents a series of rural crossings and settlements, from the northern community of Benedict down through Guilford to the grid of Altoona itself. Significant local infrastructure is noted, including the Guilford Bridge and Barnhill Bridge, which link the agricultural lands separated by the river’s oxbows. The terrain is further etched by a network of waterways including Big Cedar Creek, Little Cedar Creek, and Clear Creek. Roadways such as the Million Dollar Hwy provide a look at the transport corridors connecting these river towns. For those interested in local geography, Camp Cauble sits near the northern boundary, while the street grid of Altoona identifies key routes like Main St and 5th St.
