1890 Map of Kansas City

USGS Topo · Published 1890

About this map

Kansas City and the surrounding river bluffs are shown here during a period of massive railroad expansion in the late 1880s. The Missouri River anchors the geography, winding past numerous islands such as Kickapoo Island and Spar Island while separating the major centers of Leavenworth and Platte City. This survey, compiled from work by the Engineer Corps U.S. Army and the U.S. Geological Survey, captures the region before modern flood controls altered the river's path, notably around the Old Channel of Platte River.
