1894 Map of Wichita
USGS Topo · Published 1894About this map
Wichita sits at the confluence of the Little Arkansas River and the Arkansas River, serving as a dense center of commerce and rail during the late nineteenth century. The town's grid expands outward from the river fork, surrounded by early settlements such as Valley Center, Maize, and Oatville. This 1894 edition, based on an 1888 survey, reveals a region defined by its rapid railway development, with lines like the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad and the Chicago Kansas and Nebraska Railroad carving through the prairie to connect isolated stations like Furley and Green Station.
