2013 Map of Lyons

About this map

The borderlands between Lenawee and Fulton counties are defined by a grid of rural highways and a series of slow-moving waterways. At the center of this landscape sits Lyons, a hub at the junction of W Morenci St and Lyons Hwy. The surrounding agricultural tracts are punctuated by small hamlets like Seward to the east and Winameg to the south. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burial grounds, including Rose Hill Cem, Lyons Cem, and Edgar Cem. A subtle drainage network characterizes the terrain, with Bear Cr and Little Bear Cr flowing through the northern sections, while Tenmile Cr and Bad Cr cross the lower reaches. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from the Michigan state line into northern Ohio, showing the persistent 19th-century township and section structure that continues to shape land use in the modern era.
