2015 Map of Lyonville

About this map

Lyonville sits at the southwestern edge of a vast agricultural landscape defined by the intersection of three counties. This survey captures the rural layout where Buffalo, Brule, and Jerauld counties meet, a region characterized by a sprawling grid of section-line roads like Prairie Rd and numbered avenues. The drainage patterns of Crow Cr and Smith Cr wind through the township, providing the primary relief in the terrain. The presence of Jones Lake in the southeast corner offers a rare permanent water feature in an area otherwise dominated by seasonal drainage and cultivated fields. The map provides a clear view of the sparse settlement patterns common to the Great Plains, where small nodes like Lyonville served as vital community anchors for the surrounding farmsteads during the early 21st century.
