About this map

Belton serves as the central hub of this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by suburban expansion and persisting agricultural roots south of Kansas City. The terrain is drained by the Blue River and Little Blue River, with residential developments like Loch Lloyd and Belvidere clustered around various water bodies, including Neff Lake and Springdale Lake. For local historians, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including Belton Cemetery, Woodland Cemetery, and Bryant Cemetery, offering critical data for genealogical research.

Industrial and aviation footprints are evident through the Knoche Oil Field and small aviation facilities such as Hillside Airport, Villnave Airport, and a rural Landing Strip. The map also captures smaller communities like Kenneth and Jaudon alongside the newer residential tracts of Olson Acres. This layout illustrates the modern transition of the Missouri-Kansas border area from a network of small farms and crossroads into a more densely populated suburban corridor.
