About this map

Allen centers this Lyon County landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural sections. The town's grid is anchored by Main St and Wiser St, with a local Po and the nearby Allen Cem indicating a long-established community structure. This region is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the winding One Hundred and Fortytwo Mile Cr which meanders through the northern and eastern portions of the map.

To the west, Bushong Cem sits near the edge of the survey, marking another point of genealogical interest. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Bluff Cr, Hill Creek, and Allen Cr, which create a complex topography of ridges and valleys. A strict section-line road system, including named routes like Chalk Rd and 142 Mile Creek Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots that comprise the local economy.
