From KNSS Radio (Wichita, KS)/Radio.com:
A collection of historic trail maps has been digitized and is available online in time for the 200th anniversary of the Santa Fe Trail. This project completes a two-year effort for the Kansas Historical Society, in partnership with the Kansas City Area Historic Trails Association (KCAHTA). Now available in the Historical Society’s online digital archives, Kansas Memory, these maps will be of interest for those who want to understand the legacy and impact of the historic frontier trails on our nation’s heritage.
