2015 Map of Glenallen

About this map

Bessville and Glenallen anchor this part of Bollinger County, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Crooked Creek and Little Crooked Creek. The terrain is characterized by intricate creek valleys and hollows, such as Black Snake Hollow to the north and Robey Hollow in the southeast. Evidence of early settlement and family history is found throughout the area, with several burial sites including Mouser Cemetery and Myers Cemetery scattered across the township lines. Toward the southern edge of the survey, the settlement of Huxie sits near Cane Creek, while the town of Marble Hill appears on the eastern margin. Water features like Reed Lake and the Lake of the Hills provide contrast to the numerous branching tributaries like Gimlet Creek and Opossum Creek that carve through the local topography.
