About this map

The settlement of Lyle anchors the southern boundary of this Mower County landscape, situated where the grid of rural roads meets the winding path of Otter Cr. Further north, the small community of Varco sits along the western banks of the Cedar River, which carves a distinct corridor through the agricultural sections of t102n r18w and t101n r18w. The land is defined by a dense network of sectional roads, such as 180th St and 110 St, which organize the fertile plains surrounding the waterways.

Genealogists and local historians can locate two significant burial sites within this survey: the Rose Creek Cem in the north and the Sixmile Grove Cem located to the southeast. These landmarks, along with the meandering courses of Rose Cr and its tributaries, provide a clear picture of the township's layout in the early 21st century, illustrating the enduring relationship between the river valleys and the established rural homesteads.
