About this map

Pomona Lake dominates the central landscape of this northwest Lyndon quadrangle, its eastern waters fed by the winding Dragoon Creek. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries, including Hundred and Ten Mile Creek and the curiously named Popcorn Cr. These watercourses dictate the rural settlement patterns, as local roads like S Lewelling Rd and S California Rd navigate the low ridges between drainage basins.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered at Highland Cem and the outpost of Lyndon Station in the southern reaches of the map. Transportation infrastructure is represented by the Pomona Lake Airport situated just north of the lake, while the grid of numbered section roads illustrates the enduring township and range system that organized this part of Osage County. The confluence of Plummer Creek and other smaller runs like Willow Brook highlights the hydrologic complexity of this Kansas prairie landscape.
