A map drawn by Edward M. Snider showing creeks, the Union Pacific Railroad, and the town of McAllaster of Township 14 South, Range 35 West (in McAllaster Township), Logan County. On a separate sheet, Edward writes: "McAllaster did not try to get the county seat in the election of 1887." This is one of several maps drawn by school children for a contest organized by Judge J. C. Ruppenthal of Russell, Kansas. The maps were to meet a "requirement of presenting historical data, together with excellence and accuracy of drawing."
