2016 Map of Lyons

About this map

The Michigan-Ohio border cuts through this landscape, dividing the agricultural lands of Lenawee and Fulton counties. The village of Lyons serves as a central hub, situated near the intersection of W Morenci St and Lyons Hwy. The region's drainage is defined by a series of meandering waterways, including Tenmile Creek and Bear Creek, which traverse the flat terrain alongside a rigid grid of rural roads like US Rte 20. For those tracing local history, several distinct burial grounds are noted, from the centrally located Lyons Cem to the outlying Edgar Cem and Rose Hill Cem. To the east, the Newbury Airport sits near Seward, while the southern reaches of the map include the small settlements of Advance and Winameg. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the borderlands, where family farms are bounded by township roads and small creeks.
