1950 Map of Lawrence
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Kansas River and the Missouri River converge at the northeast corner of this map, anchoring a region defined by the post-war expansion of Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri. This landscape is a dense network of steam-era rail lines and burgeoning automobile highways, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR and the Union Pacific RR trace the historic corridors of western migration. From the state capital at Topeka to the industrial hub of Kansas City, the map documents the established river towns and prairie settlements like Lawrence and Ottawa.
