1943 Map of Cherokee
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Strip mines dominate the landscape of southeast Kansas in this mid-century survey, revealing an intensive era of surface extraction across the Crawford and Cherokee county line. The region is densely populated with small mining towns and rail-connected settlements, including Scammon, Weir, and West Mineral. This coal-driven economy is supported by a complex web of railroads, with the Missouri Pacific, St Louis San Francisco, and Missouri Kansas Texas lines weaving between industrial pits and agricultural tracts.
