1894 Map of Kinsley

About this map

The Arkansas River cuts across the northwest corner of this Kansas landscape, defining the early geography of the region as surveyed by Wm. H. Herron and R. M. Towson in the late 19th century. Two primary rail corridors dictate the development of the plains here. To the north, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad serves the growing hub of Kinsley, while the southern reaches are connected by the Chicago Kansas and Western Railroad, which links settlements like Greensburg and Mullenville.
