About this map

Lyon County State Lake forms a central point of this southeastern Lyon County landscape, where the prairie is etched by an intricate network of waterways. Significant drainages like One Hundred and Fortytwo Mile Cr and Duck Cr wind through the terrain, suggesting the importance of these water sources to the local agricultural economy. The survey captures a moment in time when the rural section lines are firmly established, punctuated by local landmarks that speak to the area's social history.

Genealogists and local historians can find points of interest such as Ivy Cem in the north and Phillips Cem further south. The transportation network is anchored by Burlingame Rd and a systematic grid of numbered routes including Road 320 and Road 240, which connect disparate homesteads and farms. Smaller tributaries like Badger Cr and Plumb Cr define the lower elevations of this Kansas quadrangle.
