About this map

Fort Leavenworth Military Reservation and the surrounding river bluffs dominate this late 19th-century study of the borderlands. The Missouri River serves as the central artery, its course winding past numerous islands including Kickapoo Island, Leavenworth Island, and Diamond Island. The landscape is a dense network of early rail lines, with the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad and the Missouri Pacific Railroad connecting established river towns like Weston and Parkville to the interior.
