About this map

Chanute and Iola serve as central hubs in this postwar survey of the southeastern Kansas and western Missouri borderlands. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of the Neosho River and Verdigris River, which support a dense network of farming communities and railroad connections. Established towns like Fort Scott and Humboldt anchor the region, while smaller settlements such as Yates Center and Quincy mark the transitions across the plains.
