1888 Map of Eldorado

USGS Topo · Published 1901

About this map

Butler County in the mid-1880s is revealed as a burgeoning hub of railway expansion and agricultural settlement. The city of Eldorado serves as a central junction, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the St Louis Ft Scott and Wichita Railroad converge, illustrating the town's importance to Kansas commerce. This survey by E.T. Perkins Jr. captures the landscape before many modern developments, showing early prairie settlements like Chelsea, Leon, and Rosalia interspersed with a dense network of watercourses including Little Walnut Creek and Satchel Creek. The southern portion of the map highlights the St Louis and San Francisco Railroad passing through Keighley and Beaumont, while the presence of the Kansas City and South Western Railroad near Latham indicates the rapid diversification of transport routes in the region.
