1965 Map of Lyle

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Sappa Creek winds through the northern half of this mid-1960s survey, defining the agricultural landscape at the border of Decatur and Norton counties. The settlement of Lyle serves as a central point in an area largely characterized by section lines and family-named landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds, including Railsback Cem, Walton Cem, Wray Cem, and Shirley Cem, which reflect the early homesteading patterns of Grant, Crystal, and Lincoln townships. The local economy is represented by more modern developments such as an Oil Well, a Gravel Pit, and a dedicated Landing Strip, illustrating the diversification of the High Plains prairie beyond traditional farming into resource extraction and private aviation.
