About this map

The town of Little Rock sits near the eastern edge of Lyon County, defined by a grid of agricultural roads and the winding course of the Little Rock River. This landscape reflects a century of Midwestern land management, where section lines like 140th St and Larch Ave dictate the movement of people and commerce between farmsteads. The river and its associated waterways, including Argo Slough and Tom Cr, provide the only deviation from the geometric precision of the township system, creating a distinct riparian corridor through the plains.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites mapped here, including Pleasant View Cem on the outskirts of town and the First Baptist Church Cem further south. The presence of Grant Township Cem and Zion Cem highlights the distributed nature of early rural communities and church parishes. The map also captures the local hydrography at the confluence of smaller streams like Whitney Cr, illustrating the drainage patterns essential to the region's agricultural productivity.
