1959 Map of Tyro

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural educational and religious landmarks, such as Springdale Sch, Pleasant Hill Sch, and Ringo Sch, alongside the Lutheran Cem and Pioneer Cem. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Fawn Creek, Onion Creek, and Deadman Creek, which wind through the agricultural fields and timbered breaks of southern Montgomery County. To the north, the small settlements of Wayside and Jefferson mark the intersection of rail and road, illustrating the established rural community structure of the era.
