The map illustrates towns, railroad stations, county seats, rivers, creeks and townships of Bourbon, Crawford and Cherokee counties in Kansas. Date: Between January 01, 1880 and December 31, 1890 http://www.kansasmemory.org/item/210180/page/1 Enjoy!
It's 1880 or earlier...The Arcadia-Coalvale, KS. branch was built 1877 & the Arcadia, KS.-MO.state line main was built 1880...What's really interesting is Litchfield is named Carbon, never seen that before...Roger

Very weird to see a map that doesnt have the line going on down to Springfield, the MP going south towards Joplin and the KCS.
