1896 Map of Ashland
USGS Topo · Published 1930About this map
The High Plains of southwest Kansas are defined here by a transition from the rolling drainage of the Cimarron River to the complex canyon systems of the north. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe R.R. bisects the county, serving as the primary lifeline for the livestock and agricultural centers of Ashland and Englewood. This 1890s-era survey reveals a landscape where water and rail dictated survival, with isolated landmarks like St Jacobs Well and Mt Jesus rising from the plains.
