1894 Map of Joplin
USGS Topo · Published 1941About this map
The tri-state borderlands of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma emerge as a bustling industrial corridor in this late 19th-century reconnaissance. The landscape is defined by a dense lattice of competing rail lines, including the St. Louis & San Francisco RR and the Kansas City Southern RR, which serve a growing network of mining hubs and agricultural centers. Prominent settlements like Pittsburg and Galena anchor the region, while smaller stops such as Minden Mines and Frontenac illustrate the early development of the coal and lead mining districts.
