2009 Map of Admire

About this map

Admire sits at the southern edge of this Lyon County landscape, where the local street grid centers on Hall St. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways, most notably the uniquely named One Hundred and Fortytwo Mile Creek and Elm Creek. These streams dictate the placement of rural infrastructure, from the Converse Farm Landing Strip in the north to the scattered burial grounds that serve the farming community. Genealogists will find the locations of Pleasant Ridge Cemetery and Admire Cemetery clearly marked among the section lines. The map captures a quintessential Kansas prairie drainage system, where smaller tributaries like Onion Creek and Log Chain Creek feed into larger basins amidst a disciplined grid of county roads.
