1959 Map of Tyro

About this map

Tyro serves as the central hub of this late 1950s survey, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad line near the southern border of Kansas. The landscape is characterized by its agricultural and industrial duality, with numerous oil wells and the extensive Oil Field designations interspersed between creek drainages like Onion Creek and Fawn Creek. An intriguing historical marker is the Old Indian Boundary, which runs east-west across the lower third of the map, cutting just south of Tyro.
