1985 Map of Larned

About this map

Fort Larned National Historic Site stands as a central landmark in this mid-1980s look at central Kansas, where the Arkansas River and Pawnee River converge. This region, spanning several counties including Pawnee, Ness, and Hodgeman, is defined by its agricultural grid and the steady path of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The map captures established western towns like Ness City and Larned, alongside smaller rail-aligned communities such as Rozel, Burdett, and Rush Center.
