Supposebly 1902 per the website - But the branches into Kansas look wrong, more like 1950's?

That's a cool map, mudchicken. Happen to know which year? (The timetable, btw, is 1937).

Go here http://205.214.89.196/discus/messages/3/2984.html?1025043029 and you will find an old Frisco timetable listing all stations between those points.

i guess i should be clearer, as a non-railroader. i just want a map of where the train stopped. i don't need any information about the buildings themselves, just all the stops on the frisco line at that time. thanks.

You are asking a lot and not specifying much. You are talking about a point in time 15-20 years before the advent of the "standardized" ICC Valuation Maps. Pre ICC mapping and other records for MoPac/frisco are hard to come by, railroaders who know how the system works are going to wonder what this non-railroader means by "train depots". The structure itself, the station grounds, exactly what are you after?????
