1897 Map of Caldwell

About this map

The south-central Kansas landscape near the Oklahoma border is defined here by a dense lattice of competing rail lines and prairie drainage systems. Caldwell serves as the southern hub, situated just above the boundary line where the Chicago Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the St. Louis Kansas and Southwestern Railroad converge near the winding Bluff Creek. The survey reveals a region in the midst of rapid agricultural expansion, with towns like Conway Springs and Argonia established along the routes of the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the Wichita and Western Div. line.
