2010 Map of George West

About this map

George sits at the northeastern edge of this prairie landscape, where the Little Rock River and its various tributaries define the rural layout. The town itself is anchored by the George Post Office and the Evergreen Cemetery, while further west, the Hope Reformed Church Cemetery serves as a localized landmark for the surrounding farming community. This 2010 depiction illustrates the precision of the section-line road system, with numbered streets like 200th St and named avenues such as Ironwood Ave and Jay Ave carving the terrain into a clean grid. The hydrology is dominated by the meandering paths of Otter Creek, Emery Creek, and the curiously named Rio Grande Creek, which cut through the agricultural blocks. This map captures the late-20th-century development of the Lyon County interior, showing how modern infrastructure respects the original 19th-century land divisions.
