1892 Map of Dodge

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The Arkansas River serves as the central artery of this late nineteenth-century Western Kansas landscape, flanked by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. Established settlements like Dodge City, Cimarron, and Ingalls follow this transportation corridor, while an early Irrigating Canal indicates the region's nascent agricultural development. Further south, the Dodge City Montezuma and Trinidad Railroad strikes a diagonal path across the prairie to reach Montezuma. This survey, conducted by A.H. Thompson and R.U. Goode, reveals a transition from the riparian activity of the river valley to the organized grid of townships such as Richland and Concord. Smaller watercourses like Saw Log Creek and Buckner Creek define the northern drainages, providing a contrast to the flatter terrain where the town of Ensign is situated.
