About this map

Russell serves as the central hub of this Lyon County landscape, situated at the confluence of several local routes and the Redwood River. The town's layout is defined by Lake Ave and High St, while the nearby Russell Cem and Clear Lake sit just to the north. To the south, the small community of Burchard anchors the lower section of the map, near where the Cottonwood River flows past Lakeside Cem.

The geography is dominated by the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that influences the drainage patterns of local waterways like Coon Cr. Evidence of the region's agricultural and natural history is visible in the presence of the Brush Lakebed and Rock Lake. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource for locating rural burial grounds including Lynd Cem and Lyons Cem, which remain as persistent landmarks in this prairie setting.
