2015 Map of Allen

About this map

Allen and the surrounding Lyon County prairie lands are defined by a network of rural routes and winding waterways. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation captures the settlement pattern along the Wabaunsee Co Lyon Co border, where the town of Bushong sits to the southwest. The landscape is carved by numerous drainages, most notably the uniquely named One Hundred and Forty-two Mile Cr in the northeast and Allen Cr to the west. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Admire-Allen City Lake and the Allen Cem, while the township grid is maintained by a series of numbered roads like Rd 400 and Rd 330. The topography reveals the subtle elevation changes of the Flint Hills region, with drainage systems like Hill Cr and Duck Cr directing the flow of water across this agricultural expanse.
