Indians of Kansas Wall Map
“Official” Indians of Kansas map by the Hearne Brothers. Arapaho and Cheyenne, Kiowa and Comanche, Pawnee, Kansa (where Kansas gets it’s name), Wichita, Missouri and Oto, and Osage. I like the art work around the edges.
Counties of Kansas wall map by the Hearne Brothers.
These maps are hanging on the wall in the building where I work.
Bourbon County Kansas Platt Map
A plat map is a gold mine to genealogists. It is a map of who owned what property in a county. I donated this one to the local library genealogy section. There is no cover on it so it probably isn’t worth much.
1925 General Atlas of the World
General Atlas of the World, Rand McNally & Company, 1925. It’s pretty cool, I just really like the look and color of these older maps. Of course the largest cities in the world have changed. In 1925 it was 1) London at 7 million people, then New York with 5 1/2 million. Next three are Paris, Chicago and Petrograd, Russia, each having between 2.3 and 2.8 million people.
