USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
The Cimarron River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a transition between the plains of Kansas and Oklahoma. In the mid-1980s, the region was defined by a network of cattle-country settlements and vital transportation corridors. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves as a spine for towns like Protection, Coldwater, and Ashland. The presence of the St Louis and Southwestern line near Bloom further illustrates the era's reliance on rail for moving agricultural goods.
