About this map

Lang sits at the center of this rural landscape where the creek-fed hills of Lyon County meet the broader alluvial valleys of the Neosho River and the Cottonwood River. The area is characterized by a dense network of sectional roads and several notable family or community landmarks that reflect its agricultural heritage. The southern half of the map shows the winding, heavily timbered paths of the rivers, while the northern uplands are drained by Badger Cr, Coon Cr, and Plumb Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of numerous burial grounds, including Union Cem, Hunter Cem, Badger Creek Cem, and Fowler Cem. Aviation history is represented by the Sickler Airstrip located south of the main settlement. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines such as t18s r12e and t19s r12e clearly defining the cadastral framework of this Kansas prairie region.
