1951 Map of De Soto
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
The Sunflower Ordnance Works dominates the western edge of this landscape, reflecting the military-industrial growth in Johnson County shortly after the Second World War. Centered on the town of De Soto, the map reveals a post-war rural environment transitioning toward increased infrastructure, visible in the Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal facilities. The Kansas River and its accompanying rail lines, including the Union Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, provide the primary east-west corridors through the northern sections of Lexington and Olathe townships.
