1889 Map of Topeka
USGS Topo · Published 1889About this map
The Pottawatomie Indian Reservation dominates the central landscape of this late-nineteenth-century survey, illustrating the complex land divisions of early Kansas. To the south, the Kansas River serves as a primary geographic anchor, with the state capital of Topeka sprawling across its banks. The settlement pattern is defined by the convergence of major transit lines, including the Union Pacific Railroad and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, which facilitated the growth of river towns like Rossville, Silver Lake, and Tecumseh.
