2018 Map of Allison

About this map

Allison sits at the southern edge of this Butler County landscape, serving as a hub where grid-patterned streets like 7th St and 10th St meet the Allison Municipal Airport. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of the Shell Rock River in the northeast and a network of agricultural sections connected by an extensive system of avenues and streets. Local heritage is preserved in numerous rural burial grounds, including Hardeman Cem, Nettleton Cem, and the Brethren Cem near the riverbanks. The small settlement of Wilmar and the landmark known as Pilot Rock stand as notable points of reference in a landscape otherwise dominated by the drainages of Palmer Cr, Kilson Cr, and Dailey Cr. This modern survey illustrates the enduring township-and-range layout that has organized Iowa’s farmland for generations.
