Wisconsin Town USA Postcard

Alma is a fascinating town uniquely built on a single terrace between the high bluffs and the mighty Mississippi River in Buffalo County, Wisconsin. This illustrative perspective follows the winding river road, with the wide, reflective waters of the Mississippi flowing on the left. The town’s vertical, multi-tiered buildings cling tightly to the steep bluff side, creating a dramatic and condensed urban landscape against the towering, wooded cliffs. Lock and Dam No. 4 is visible in the background, regulating the river flow and adding to the historic, industrial, and natural feel of this river town.
