2010 Map of Cyrus

About this map

Cyrus serves as the primary hub of this western Pope County landscape, established near the headwaters where the Chippewa River begins its course through the prairie. The settlement is anchored by the Cyrus Post Office and local landmarks like the Saint Petri Cemetery and Cyrus Cemetery. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and township roads, such as County Hwy-3 and 380th Ave, which define the agricultural character of the region. To the southeast, the terrain transitions toward the basin of Lake Emily, a significant water body bordered by the Lake Emily Cemetery. The drainage pattern is dominated by the winding paths of the river and its tributary, the Little Chippewa River, which cut across the otherwise orderly surveyor's lines, illustrating the intersection of natural hydrology and the established township system in the early 21st century.
