About this map

Tyro sits at the heart of this Montgomery County landscape, where the local road network centers on the intersection of W Main St and 166. The settlement pattern reflects the agricultural character of southeastern Kansas, with small clusters like Wayside in the northwest and Jefferson in the northeast marking old rural hubs. The terrain is gently defined by waterways such as Onion Creek and Spring Creek, while the rise at Stony Point provides a rare point of elevation in the central township.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of several burial sites, including the Pioneer Cemetery, the Lutheran Cemetery south of the main highway, and the Fawn Creek Cemetery to the north. These sites, along with the distinct grid of numbered section roads like 2600 Rd and 2200 Rd, allow for precise family land-use research in a region where the rural population has historically been tied to the drainage basins of Fawn Creek and Deadman Creek.
