Alluwe is a genuine ghost town today, its original townsite abandoned after the Great Depression and partly submerged by the later damming of the Verdigris River; the modern community of New Alluwe formed nearby to take its place, which is why both names still appear on maps a few miles apart.<\/p>\n
