About this map

Allen Creek winds through the central corridor of this rural Lyon County landscape, where the terrain is marked by the orderly grid of the Public Land Survey System. The map reveals a sparsely populated agricultural region defined by its sections and townships, including t17s r11e and t18s r11e. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Frost Cem and Rosean Cem in the eastern reaches.

Transportation is dominated by a systematic network of section-line roads, from RD 320 in the north to RD 240 at the southern edge. The presence of Township Cem in the southwest corner suggests early community centers that served the surrounding farmsteads. Tributaries like Duck Creek further define the drainage patterns of this prairie environment, which remains largely dedicated to large-scale land divisions and rural residence.
