2010 Map of Milroy SE

About this map

The Cottonwood River meanders across this rural Lyon County landscape, where the local topography is defined by the remnant Nettiewynnt Lake Bed and numerous small watercourses. This 2010 survey reveals a land organized by a strict grid of section roads, including Lyon-Redwood Rd and County Hwy-11, which serve the scattered agricultural properties. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a significant record of early settlement patterns, preserving the locations of several burial grounds such as Old Gales Cemetery, Gales Cemetery, and the Swedish Cemetery. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are marked by the winding path of Lone Tree Creek, while Meadow Creek feeds into the main river valley from the north. This document provides a clear view of the regional drainage and transport network just after the turn of the twenty-first century.
