2012 Map of Belle Plaine

About this map

The confluence of the Ninnescah River and the Arkansas River defines this landscape south of Wichita in the early 21st century. The city of Belle Plaine serves as a focal point, characterized by its grid of residential streets and the notable Bartlett Arboretum, a regional landmark located at the edge of the settlement. To the north, the small community of Peck sits near the western border, while the surrounding territory is primarily agricultural, marked by a dense network of section-line roads such as S Hydraulic St and S Hillside St. Local aviation history is represented by Kendrigan Airport and Rands Airport, two small airfields servicing the rural area. Cultural and civic sites, including the Prairie Garden Cem and Belle Plaine Cem, offer important data points for genealogists tracking local families in this river valley region.
