1889 Map of Burlingame
USGS Topo · Published 1889About this map
The railroad-driven expansion of Osage and Shawnee Counties is captured here in the late nineteenth century, a time when steam power dictated the growth of the Kansas prairie. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad serves as the primary corridor, linking important coal and trade hubs like Burlingame, Scranton, and Carbondale. Further south, the Council Grove Osage City and Ottawa Railroad intersects at Osage City, which appears as a significant developed grid alongside the industrial-minded Peterton and Craig City.
