About this map

Manhattan serves as the focal point of this Kansas landscape, where the confluence of the Big Blue River and the Kansas River has long shaped the region's development. This 2016 survey highlights the significant institutional presence of Kansas State Univ, which occupies a large portion of the city's northwest. The map details the urban core's transition into agricultural river plains, featuring areas like Moehlman Bottoms and Ashland Bottoms to the south.

Several prominent landforms, including Bluemont Hill and Stagg Hill, overlook the valley, providing distinct natural markers for local researchers. The distribution of educational and religious centers is evident through the inclusion of Manhattan Christian Coll and Saint Patricks Cem. This record also tracks the contemporary road network, including the expansive reach of Tuttle Creek Blvd as it moves northward toward the Rocky Ford area.
