About this map

The settlement of Lyle sits at the southern edge of Mower County, directly adjacent to the Iowa border. This 2010 topographic record captures the grid-patterned development of the town, including the location of the Lyle Post Office. To the north, the small community of Varco is situated along a north-south transit corridor, surrounded by the rectilinear section-line road network typical of Southern Minnesota’s agricultural landscape.

Waterways define much of the western and northern terrain, with the Cedar River winding through the western portion of the sheet near the River Bend Campground. In the north, Rose Creek meanders eastward, passing the Rose Creek Cemetery, a significant landmark for local family historians. The map also traces the path of Otter Creek as it moves through the southeastern corner, illustrating the drainage patterns that have long influenced farming and settlement in this region.
