USGS Topo · Published 1887About this map
Marais Des Cygnes or Osage River defines the central drainage of this late nineteenth-century landscape, winding through a series of established townships in eastern Kansas. This survey, conducted just years after the frontier era, shows a transition from river-dependent settlements like Trading Post to booming rail towns. The Kansas City Fort Scott and Gulf Railroad acts as the primary north-south artery, connecting La Cygne, Pleasanton, and Prescott.
