Alma
Alma in Buffalo County was originally known as the Twelve Mile Bluff because of its prominent rock formation on the bluff overlooking the town and the Mississippi River . Riverboat pilots used that as navigation guide. Much of the town has been authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The Buena Vista lookout over it all is a high point.

This tug is moving a lot of barges up the Mississippi, and she is approaching a lock.
