2012 Map of Americus

About this map

The Neosho River meanders broadly across this portion of Lyon County, defining a landscape shaped by its winding course and several significant tributaries including Kahola Cr and Troublesome Cr. The town of Americus sits at the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, organized by a street grid that includes Sycamore St and Hickory St near the local Po. To the northwest, the smaller settlement of Dunlap serves as a focal point for local history, notably featuring the Dunlap African American Cem. This site, along with Dunlap Cem and the more southern Fruitland Cem, provides essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking the area's rural heritage. The map documents a rigid section-line road network, such as Road A and Road 240, which overlays the fluid paths of Wrights Cr and Pester Cr.
