USGS Topo · Published 1932About this map
The Arkansas River cuts through the southwestern corner of this 1880s landscape, a region defined by the rapid expansion of the steam rail era. Three distinct rail lines converge on the county seat of Winfield, including the Kansas City and South Western Railroad and the Southern Kansas Railroad. These iron arteries connected small agricultural hubs like Burden, Dexter, and Atlanta to larger markets, shaping the early township boundaries of Silver Creek, Walnut, and Otter.
