Description

This second edition of Historical Atlas of Kansas has been up to date from 1984 states-federal estimates. New and revised maps show the vital growth in population centers in all parts of the state and the changes in congressional and judicial districts, railroads, airline routes, employment, petroleum and groundwater, agriculture, and colleges and universities. The text accompanying these maps has been up to date also.

A proper knowledge of the long and eventful history of Kansas requires an understanding of the state’s geography. Whilst the “place known as Kansas” was once at the beginning the home of certain Indian tribes, the earliest recorded histories of the state are chronicles of journeys across it. Adventurers, traders, and pioneers crossed Kansas so as to the Rocky Mountains, so as to California, so as to Oregon, and so as to the Spanish settlements of the Southwest.

The lay of the land and its character and use, the shuttle routes, the location of population concentrations, and the gradual unfolding of economic and political development—all are shown at the many maps on this book.
