2018 Map of Lyndon

About this map

Lyndon serves as the primary hub of this eastern Kansas landscape, situated at the intersection of a grid-like network of rural roads such as Topeka Ave and W 253rd St. The terrain is defined by the significant hydrological system of the Marais des Cygnes River, which feeds into the eastern reaches of Melvern Lake. This area shows a typical midwestern transition from concentrated town centers to wide-reaching agricultural sections, marked by numerous small tributaries like Chicken Cr and Salt Cr. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including the Lyndon Cem and the Danish Cem, while the southern settlement of Melvern sits near the riverbanks. The map illustrates the 21st-century footprint of Osage County, where the managed waters of the river system dominate the local geography.
