About this map

Lyndon Station serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated along the line of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. The geography is defined by a series of prominent elevations and bluffs, including Sheep Pasture Bluff, Fairy Bluff, and the distinctive Rattlesnake Knob near the southern boundary. These features rise above the drainages of Sevenmile Creek and Tracy Creek, creating a varied topography that shifts from open flats to the intricate drainages of the Badlands and Dell Creek State Wildlife Area.

Local history is preserved in the numerous named roads that crisscross the rural townships of Kildare, Lyndon, and Winfield. Family names are frequently found on the local infrastructure, from Costigan Road and Cauley Road to Fitzgerald Road. Significant local landmarks like St Marys Cem and the natural feature of Black Springs provide specific points of interest for genealogical research and the study of early Wisconsin settlement patterns.
