2016 Map of Belvue

About this map

Belvue lies at the heart of this landscape, situated just north of the wide, winding course of the Kansas River. This map details the intersection of regional history and geography, where the Pottawatomie Co and Wabaunsee Co line follows the river's channel. The area's legacy is preserved in several local burial grounds, including Belvue Cem, Greenwood Cem, and Saint Johns Cem. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways into the main river valley, such as Vermillion Creek, Lost Cr, and Wells Cr. Notable road names like Oregon Trail Rd and Old Post Rd hint at the historic transportation corridors that once passed through these bluffs. Further south, rural routes like Strowigs Mill Rd and Kansa Rd weave through the hilly terrain, marking the footprints of long-established farmsteads and rural industry.
