About this map

The Kansas River carves a winding path through the heart of this landscape, separating the residential expansions of Edwardsville and Kansas City in Wyandotte County from the developing suburban reaches of Shawnee and Monticello in Johnson County. This contemporary look at the borderlands reveals a mix of established community hubs and lakeside developments like Lake Quivira and Lake of the Forest.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of community landmarks, from the Saint Patrick Catholic Church and Central Seminary to several long-standing burial grounds such as Wyandotte County Cem, Stony Point Cem, and Grinter Cem. The map illustrates the sophisticated infrastructure connecting these areas, including major thoroughfares like State Ave and Shawnee Mission Pkwy, while preserving the names of older railroad-era points like Wilder, Holliday, and Zarah.
