2010 Map of Bedford SW

About this map

Allison stands as the primary settlement hub in this rural landscape near the Missouri-Iowa border, supported by the Allison Post Office as a local community center. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Honey Creek, Norvey Creek, and Brushy Creek, which carve through the agricultural tablelands. The map reveals a high concentration of small, dispersed burial grounds such as Ross Township Cemetery, Kemery Cemetery, and New Hope Cemetery, which often signify the locations of early family homesteads or vanished rural congregations. Water management for local agriculture or recreation is evident through features like Allen Lake and James Lake, both secured by their respective dams. The orderly grid of county roads, including Missouri-Taylor St and County Line Rd, facilitates movement across this agrarian corridor where the landscape remains largely dedicated to farming and small-town life.
