1990 Map of Blue Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1995About this map
The Lake City Army Ammunition Plant dominates the northeastern landscape, illustrating the significant federal footprint in eastern Jackson County during the late 20th century. This region between Independence and Blue Springs reveals a complex mix of suburban expansion and dedicated conservation land, notably the Burr Oak Woods State Conservation Area. Waterways like the Little Blue River and its accompanying Little Blue Trace County Park carve a natural corridor through the developing terrain. Local heritage is anchored by several burial grounds, including Oak Ridge Memory Gardens, Lobb Cem, and the Blue Springs Cemetery. The map also captures specialized land uses ranging from the Independence Memorial Airport to the industrial Quarry and Pit sites, alongside established recreational spots like Lake Tapawingo and Fleming County Park.
