1889 Map of Newton
USGS Topo · Published 1889About this map
The growing rail hub of Newton anchors this late-nineteenth-century survey of the Central Kansas plains, capturing a landscape undergoing rapid agricultural and industrial organization. Three major rail lines dominate the geography, reflecting the era's competitive expansion: the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad cuts diagonally through the territory, while the Chicago Kansas and Nebraska Railroad and Missouri Pacific Railroad establish critical connections to outlying towns like Peabody and Marion.
