About this map

The Kansas River winds through the southern portion of this region, shaping the development of riverside communities like Loring, Coldspur, and Frisbie. This landscape, where the borders of Leavenworth, Wyandotte, and Johnson counties converge, illustrates a mix of established municipal centers and small rural outposts. Aviation history is particularly visible here, with multiple private flight facilities such as Hoelting Airport, Huff Airport, and the Ingels Aerodrome dotted across the plains.

Genealogists can find several burial grounds including Glenwood Cem, Elm Grove Cem, and Lenape Cem, which serve as vital markers of the area's family history. The eastern edge of the map shows the suburban expansion of Kansas City and Shawnee, while Bonner Springs and Basehor remain central hubs. The detailed road network, from State Ave to the smaller Hatchell Rd, reveals how transportation corridors have evolved to connect these disparate settlements.
