2009 Map of Allen SW

About this map

Allen Creek meanders through this agricultural section of Lyon County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by a strict section-line road grid. The presence of Frost Cemetery, Rosean Cemetery, and Township Cemetery suggests a well-established rural community where small, family-linked burial grounds remain as vital historical anchors. The terrain is crisscrossed by local routes such as Rd H and Rd 320, while Rd M1 serves as a primary north-south artery through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the area before significant modern development, showing a quiet prairie landscape dominated by ranching and small-scale water features.
