2018 Map of Edwardsville

About this map

Bonner Springs and Kansas City anchor this 2018 survey of the borderlands between Wyandotte and Johnson counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Kansas River, which separates established industrial and residential corridors from the recreational waters of Lake Quivira and Lake of the Forest. Numerous small communities and neighborhoods such as Edwardsville, Grinter Heights, and Sunflower are interspersed with significant local landmarks including Nelson Island. A high concentration of cemeteries, such as the Stony Point Cem, Grinter Cem, and Edwardsville Cem, provides a detailed record of the area's social history. The road network, featuring Kaw Dr and Shawnee Mission Pkwy, highlights the transition between suburban development and the natural drainages of Mill Creek and Little Turkey Creek.
