About this map

The town of Tyro serves as the central hub of this late 1950s survey, where the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the southern landscape. An intricate network of rural infrastructure is visible, including the Old Indian Boundary line running east-west just south of the town center. This area is characterized by an active extractive economy, with extensive Oil Field developments and scattered Oil Wells punctuated by a Gravel Pit near Stony Point.

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.
