1894 Map of Lyons
USGS Topo · Published 1906About this map
Lyons stands at the center of this late 19th-century landscape, serving as a critical rail junction where the Missouri Pacific Railroad crosses the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. The survey illustrates a region defined by its transition from prairie to organized township grids, with the winding Arkansas River cutting a wide diagonal path through the southwestern portion of the sheet. Low-lying areas like the Salt Marsh and Black Marsh near Huntsville P.O. indicate the original hydrology of the plains before extensive modern drainage.
