USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Missouri River and Platte River converge in this mid-century survey, defining a landscape of fertile bottomlands and floodplains. Near the river junction, the Kansas State Penitentiary Farm occupies a large tract on Stigers Island, while the nearby town of Farley sits along the Missouri Pacific rail line. The topography is characterized by intricate river meanders and oxbow lakes, including Horseshoe Lake and Mud Lake.
