1892 Map of Ness

USGS Topo · Published 1892

About this map

Ness City and Jetmore serve as the primary hubs on this high-plains landscape in the early 1890s, where the expansion of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad dictated the growth of local economies. The map illustrates a transitional period for Western Kansas, as small post offices like Schoharie P.O. and outposts such as Sidney and Harold dot the prairie between larger established towns. The drainage patterns of the Walnut Creek and Pawnee River basins are meticulously documented, revealing how water access influenced the early platting of townships like Bazine and Marena. Family historians can trace the early road and rail network connecting Alexander and Burdett, providing a spatial record of the region before the consolidation of many smaller rural centers.
