Another delicious tidbit from the Kansas Historical Society archive.
This is an enlarged section from an 1887 plat map of the Argentine area of KCK. The enlargement is about where US69 crosses the Kaw now.
Early property speculators paid no attention to terrain and topography, but most of them didn't go this far. When the developer named his area Boatman's Addition, was he pulling an early version of the sucker filter that is now well known among Nigerian scams? Make the fraud so glaringly obvious that only GUARANTEED marks would buy?
