1926 Map of Atchison

About this map

The Missouri River forms the central artery of this region, dividing the city of Atchison from the bottomlands of Missouri. This landscape is defined by the shifting waters of the river and the remnants of its former paths, evidenced by water bodies like Sugar Lake, Mud Lake, and Singleton Lake. These oxbows and marshy areas create a complex borderland between Atchison County, Kansas, and the neighboring Buchanan and Platte Counties in Missouri. The rail-and-road network is well-established, with the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad serving East Atchison Winthrop Sta and the Memorial Highway cutting through the river valley.
