2015 Map of Allison

About this map

The N Fork Solomon River meanders across this rural section of the High Plains, carving a shallow valley through the grid of the Public Land Survey System. Located near the boundary of Decatur Co and Sheridan Co, the small community of Allison serves as a local anchor in an area defined by agricultural sections and range roads. Cultural history is preserved at the Adell Cem, which stands as a quiet marker of early settlement patterns in this part of Kansas. A network of county routes, including Co Rd 509 and Co Rd 140 N, connects the isolated farmsteads and township lines. The topography reveals the subtle drainage patterns feeding into the river, illustrating how the natural watercourse influenced the placement of roads and homesteads across townships t5s r27w and t6s r27w.
