About this map

Agricultural lands and prairie drainage basins define the landscape of eastern Lyon County on this 2010 survey. The eastern portion of George sits at the western edge of the map, while the surrounding countryside is organized by a strict grid of gravel roads and section lines. Several historic burial grounds, including the Lyon County First Presbyterian Church Cemetery and the First Baptist Church Cemetery, are scattered across the landscape, serving as landmarks for local genealogists.

The hydrology of the region is shaped by the Little Rock River and its numerous tributaries such as Rio Grande Creek and Whitney Creek. To the south, drainage is facilitated by a network of seasonal streams including Rat Creek and West Rat Creek which eventually flow toward Otter Creek. Aside from the localized industry represented by the Sudenga Industries Landing Field, the map illustrates a stable, rural environment primarily dedicated to large-scale farming.
