1889 Map of Wamego
USGS Topo · Published 1889About this map
The Kansas River winds through the heart of this late nineteenth-century landscape, serving as a corridor for settlement and early transportation networks. To the north, the Vermillion River feeds into the valley near Belvue, while to the south, the terrain rises toward landmarks like Buffalo Mound. This era was defined by the rapid expansion of rail, with three major lines competing for dominance: the Union Pacific Railroad following the river through Wamego, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad cutting through the southwest near Wabaunsee, and the Chicago Kansas and Nebraska Railroad passing through Alma.
