1938 Map of Worland

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Osage River meanders across this rural landscape in Bates County, defining a region where transportation and education formed the backbone of local life in the late 1930s. The convergence of the Kansas City Southern and Missouri Pacific railroads near Worland illustrates the importance of rail logistics to these prairie settlements. Agricultural development is evident through the presence of the Bates County Drainage Ditch, an engineering effort to manage the heavy bottomlands along the river and its tributaries like Mulberry Creek and Walnut Creek.
