Kroh Quad Digitization Project Update
Great news! The digitization of Lee Kroh’s historic trail maps (Quads) is nearly complete and should be available on www.kansasmemory.org by mid-February.
This project was started by KCAHTA in memory of our co-founder Lee Kroh, who passed away in February 2019. Lee spent years meticulously mapping the historic Santa Fe Trail, the Fort Leavenworth to Fort Scott Military Road, Oregon-California Trail segments, and territorial roads in the Kansas City region using USGS topographic maps (Quads).
The Kansas Historical Society is handling the high-quality photographic digitization — their largest project of this kind to date. Once uploaded, these 342 maps will be freely available to the public on Kansas Memory.org.
