2016 Map of Alvin

About this map

The small settlement of Alvin serves as the focal point for this section of the High Plains, where the border of Colorado and Nebraska defines the local geography. Situated in Yuma County, the landscape is characterized by a grid of county roads such as Co Rd 51 and Co Rd 52 that navigate the gently undulating terrain of the Republican River basin. A significant genealogical landmark, the Hughes Cem, is located just east of the state line near Rd 724. The map illustrates the sparse, agrarian nature of the region in the early 21st century, showing how the tri-county intersection of Yuma, Chase, and Dundy counties shapes the jurisdictional boundaries of these rural ranching and farming communities.
