USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Grandview Air Force Base stands as a prominent military installation during the early Cold War era, surrounded by the shifting rural landscape of Cass County. This 1953 field-checked survey reveals a region transitioning between traditional agriculture and modern industrial development, highlighted by the Knoche Oil Field and scattered petroleum infrastructure like Oil Tanks. The intersection of the Kansas City Southern and St Louis San Francisco railroads underscores the importance of rail transport to the local economy, connecting smaller hubs like Belton and Kenneth to the larger Kansas City network.
