2012 Map of Allen

About this map

Allen sits at the heart of this Lyon County landscape, where the town's street grid—including E 7th St and Wiser St—is surrounded by a network of rural section roads and winding watercourses. The local hydrology is defined by the uniquely named One Hundred and Fortytwo Mile Creek, along with Bluff Creek, Allen Creek, and Hill Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the area is anchored by the Allen Cemetery just east of town and the Bushong Cemetery to the southwest. The presence of the Admire-Allen City Lake and numerous small stock ponds across the terrain highlights the region's agricultural dependency and water management practices in the early 21st century.
