2012 Map of Atchison West

About this map

Amelia Earhart Airport serves as a central landmark in this Atchison County landscape, where the prairie transitions into the western outskirts of the city. The area is notable for its high concentration of local heritage sites, particularly its numerous cemeteries such as Oak Hill Cem, Mount Calvary Cem, and Mount Saint Scholastica Cem, which reflect the community's deep-rooted history. Small settlements and crossroads like Good Intent, Shannon, and Parnell are linked by a precise grid of rural roads, including Morton Rd and Pawnee Rd. Natural drainage patterns are defined by several waterways, most notably White Clay Cr and Deer Cr, which carve through the agricultural fields and development. The presence of the Northeast Kansas Technical Coll further illustrates the modern educational infrastructure integrated into this traditional Kansas setting.
