2019 Map of Dudley

About this map

The southeastern outskirts of Marshall and the small settlement of Dudley define this corner of Lyon County. The landscape is heavily influenced by agricultural water management and natural drainage, with the Redwood River cutting across the northern sections and Meadow Cr meandering through the south. The presence of County Ditch Number Sixty illustrates the historical effort to drain the prairie for farming, a common regional practice that altered the local hydrology. Near the city limits, Lake Marshall and the development along Lochland Hills Dr show the transition from rural township sections to residential expansion. This survey provides a clear view of the rectilinear road grid, from Lyon Co Rd 6 to numbered township roads like 240th St, which organize the landscape into the traditional sectional blocks of the Public Land Survey System.
