2013 Map of Allen Springs

About this map

Alvaton and Allen Springs sit along the winding path of US Highway 231, serving as central nodes in this rural Allen County landscape. This 2013 survey illustrates a settlement pattern defined by creek-side communities and family-named landmarks. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses like Trammel Cr and Bays Fork, which historically dictated the placement of early crossings such as Raley Ford. Genealogists will find interest in the numerous small burial sites, including Sherry Cem, Agee Cem, Walthall Cem, and Pope Cem, many of which are tucked away from the primary thoroughfares. The map also records specialized land use, notably the Boyce Wafer Farm Airport west of Trammel. Further south, small clusters like Butlersville, Halfway, and Pope demonstrate the enduring footprint of these agricultural communities near the headwaters of Johns Cr and Boucher Br.
