About this map

The Arkansas River corridor south of Wichita anchors this survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial infrastructure and residential expansion in Sedgwick County. Large-scale military and aviation footprints are prominent, notably the extensive grounds of Mc Connell Air Force Base and the Westport Auxiliary Airport. The map documents the complex water management systems of the region, including the Wichita-Valley Center Floodway and the winding Cowskin Creek.

Established communities and developing subdivisions such as Haysville, Derby, and Oaklawn-Sunview show the mid-century to modern suburban growth pattern. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for local resting places including Waco Cem, Roll Cem, and El Paso Cem. Notable local landmarks such as Sand Burr Hill and the Gypsum Creek Bike Path reflect the varied use of the river's floodplains for both recreation and industry.
