About this map

The Verdigris River winds through the southern reaches of this rural Lyon County landscape, where the prairie topography is defined by a dense network of tributaries. Several long-standing local landmarks serve as anchors for genealogical research in the area, including Maydale Cemetery in the northwest, Fairview Cemetery near the center, and Lena Valley Cemetery further east.

Drainage patterns across the terrain are established by named waterways such as South Eagle Creek, Harper Creek, and Hoosier Creek, which feed into the larger river systems. The map reflects a structured rural grid, where township roads like Twp Rd 81 and Twp Rd 221 provide access to the agricultural parcels. This landscape remains largely defined by its hydrology, from the northern headwaters of Tate Branch Creek to the eastern flow of North Big Creek.
