1956 Map of Andover
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Mc Connell Air Force Base dominates the southwestern corner of this Kansas landscape, reflecting the mid-century expansion of aviation and military infrastructure near the Sedgwick and Butler county line. The map captures an era of rapid suburbanization and industrial growth, particularly evident in the cluster of aviation-related landmarks like Ken-Mar Airport, Beech Landing Field, and the Cessna Landing Field. Residential developments such as Greenwich Heights, Lakeside Acres, and Bonnie Brae are shown emerging alongside established rural markers. Beyond the asphalt of the Kansas Turnpike and the St Louis San Francisco railroad, local life is anchored by community institutions like Seltzer Ch, Mammoth Cave Sch, and the Wichita Country Club. Scattered oil wells across the northern townships point to the region's underlying mineral economy.
