1893 Map of Albany

USGS Topo · Published 1893

About this map

The Santa Fe Trail and Texas Trail cut across this high plains landscape at the border of Colorado and Kansas, marking a period when long-distance overland routes still defined the region's geography. Surveyed in 1890, the map captures a sparsely populated frontier where small early settlements like Albany and Minneapolis were established near critical water sources. The importance of seasonal hydrology is evident in the network of intermittent drainages, including Sand Arroyo and North Butte Creek, which converge in a terrain punctuated by landmarks like East Hill and Two Butte. Local ranching roots are preserved through the naming of Kline Ranche, while the presence of Butte Springs indicates the few reliable points of water that sustained both livestock and travelers along the historic cattle and wagon trails that once dominated this territory.
