About this map

The Kansas River carves a wide path through this 1930s landscape, serving as a defining boundary between Delaware and Monticello townships. Along its banks, the infrastructure of the early 20th century is evident in the dense rail network, where the Union Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines run parallel to the water. The map documents established communities like Edwardsville and Stony Point Village, alongside smaller junctions and crossings such as Wilder and Holliday.

Social and civic life is anchored by numerous rural institutions, including St Patricks Ch, the Wyandotte County Home, and schools like Mission Sch. Recreation and youth programs are represented by Lake of the Forest and Camp Theodore Naish Boy Scouts of America, while the Edwardsville Cemetery provides a vital point of reference for genealogists researching family ties in this river-bottom and upland region.
