2013 Map of Allerton

About this map

Allerton sits at the western edge of this Wayne County landscape, defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering headwaters of several southern Iowa stream systems. The town’s street plan, including N Central Ave and E Main St, transitions quickly into the agricultural surroundings. Further east, the small settlements of Harvard and Sewal serve as local landmarks within the township network. The hydrology of the area is particularly prominent, featuring the E Fork Medicine Cr, W Jackson Cr, and Middle Fork Medicine Cr. These waterways dictate the subtle topography of the region, while a series of county highways, such as Co Hwy-S26 and Co Hwy-J46, provide the primary connections between these dispersed communities. The map provides a detailed view of the sectional road system, including named corridors like Jewell Rd and Garden Rd, which have shaped the local geography for generations.
