Alta Mills, a former Harvey County community.

Television radar maps sometimes show the spot along the Little Arkansas River and older folks around these parts still give directions from it. However, what is left of Alta, or Alta Mills as it was commonly called, is hidden by the overgrowth - a foundation, an old warehouse, a dilapidated home.
