1972 Map of Kinsley SW

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts a definitive line across this Edwards County landscape, marking a historical division south of the Arkansas River. This 1970s survey captures a transition in Kansas land use, where established holdings like Lewis Ranch and Charlet Ranch sit amidst the undulating terrain of North Brown and South Brown. The influence of the river system is evident in the path of Coon Creek and the township lines of Trenton and Kinsley. A notable piece of transportation history is preserved in the Old Railroad Grade that strikes across the eastern sections. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of a local Cem and numerous wells that supported the agricultural operations of this plains region.
