1966 Map of Lyons
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Lyons serves as the primary hub in this mid-1960s survey, situated where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy rail line meets the straightened path of the Logan Creek Dredge. The landscape is a study in agricultural transformation, with the natural meandering of the Old Channel bypassed by more efficient drainage channels to reclaim the fertile valley bottom. Beyond the town grid, the rural sections are dotted with institutional landmarks typical of the era, including Jefferson School and several numbered schoolhouses like School No 25 and School No 56.
