About this map

Kansas State College and the surrounding street grid of Manhattan define the landscape at the confluence of the Big Blue River and the Kansas River. This mid-century survey captures the city as a regional hub of education and transport, with the Union Pacific and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads threading through the valley. The map details civic and community infrastructure, from Memorial Stadium and Griffith Ball Park to healthcare at St Marys Hospital and Riley County Hospital.
