2013 Map of Lyle

About this map

Lyle and the surrounding township in Mower County appear as a grid of rural section roads and waterways in this southern Minnesota landscape. The primary north-south corridor follows Us-218, connecting the border town of Lyle with the settlement of Varco to the north. Waterways like the Cedar River, Rose Cr, and Otter Cr cut diagonally through the agricultural sections, dictating the placement of leisure sites like the River Bend Campground. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific burial grounds including Rose Creek Cem and Sixmile Grove Cem, both situated near the small creeks that drain this prairie region. The layout of the town of Lyle itself shows a concentrated street grid near the Po, marking the community's role as a local hub near the Iowa state line.
