2015 Map of Allerton

About this map

Allerton and its surrounding Wayne County landscape are defined by a network of rural townships and winding waterways in this 2015 update. The town's grid, including streets like W Oak St and N Central Ave, transitions quickly into agricultural sections marked by a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds. These sites, such as Rankin Cem, Sturgeon Cem, and Thomas Cem, serve as permanent markers of the region's genealogical history. The terrain is drained by the E Fork Medicine Cr and W Jackson Cr, which meander through the prairie land between the small settlements of Harvard and Sewal. The map captures the enduring rural character of southern Iowa, where section lines and county roads like Co Rd J46 maintain the structural layout established by early land surveys.
