About this map

Lyon County State Lake forms a central geographical anchor for this portion of Lyon County, where the prairie landscape is carved by a network of drainage systems including Hill Cr and the unusually named One Hundred and Fortytwo Mile Cr. The map reveals a rural structure defined by a strict section line road grid, with Burlingame Rd cutting diagonally through the southern townships. For those tracing family histories in the region, the placement of Ivy Cem in the north and Phillips Cem further south provides essential locational data for early burials. The terrain is marked by the winding paths of Duck Cr and Plumb Cr, which disrupt the geometric regularity of the land survey, showing how local hydrology dictated the placement of early Kansas homesteads and road crossings.
