Antique Hays, Kansas 1896 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Ellis, Big Creek, Catherine, Hartsook, Walker Paradise Victoria Lacrosse KS

Beautiful, antique map of Hays, Kansas and surrounding Ellis, Rush, Russell and Barton County areas. This is an authentic 1896 edition, 1924 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Kansas looked like 125 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! At some point the map was canvas-backed and split into quadrants, perhaps for field work.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Maps such as these make great gifts.
