Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Kansas and Its County of Davis: Information for People Seeking Homes in the West On the preceding page will be found a map of Kansas, which gives a correct idea of the location and boundaries of its counties and a fair representation of the streams. The railroads as indicated on the map, are all completed, and at least two hundred more miles have been constructed since the map was made. The western terminus of the Central Branch road is now at Concordia, instead of Waterville, as shown by the map, and the Junction City & Ft. Kearney road now intersects the Central Branch road at Clifton, in the southwest corner of Washington county. (Clifton is a new town and does not appear on the map. The terminus of this road, as there indicated, is at Clay Center, but it has lately been extended to Clifton). Junction City, the county seat of Davis county, is the initial point of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway, which is in operation to Galveston, on the Gulf of Mexico, and is also in operation to the Mississippi river at Hannibal, Mo. Junction City as also on the line of the Kansas Pacific railway, being a central point on the great international railway between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. It is the only city in Kansas, on the Kansas Pacific railway, that enjoys the benefits of railway competition with the East. Hence Junction City is the best grain market in Central Kansas. The Junction City & Ft. Kearney railway, now completed to Clifton, a distance of fifty miles, commences at Junction City. It will eventually be extended to Fort Kearney, Nebraska, a point on the Union Pacific railway. What is regarded as the "plains" county, formerly known as the "Great American Desert," lies west of Saline county. Davis county is the heart of the grain growing region..
