1953 Map of Belton
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Belton and its surrounding Cass County landscapes are captured here during a period of mid-century growth and military expansion. The prominent Grandview Air Force Base occupies a significant portion of the northern terrain, indicating the Cold War-era importance of this region just south of Kansas City. The local economy and infrastructure are further defined by the Knoche Oil Field and a dense network of railroads including the Kansas City Southern, St Louis San Francisco, and Missouri Pacific. These tracks connect established communities like Belvidere and Jaudon to the broader regional trade network.
