1984 Map of Edwardsville

About this map

The Kansas River carves a winding path through this portion of the Kansas City metropolitan area, serving as a distinct boundary between Wyandotte and Johnson counties. Along its northern banks, Edwardsville and Grinter Heights sit adjacent to a heavy industrial and transportation corridor defined by the Union Pacific rail lines and extensive quarry operations. To the south, the landscape shifts toward the expanding residential and recreational developments of Shawnee Township and Monticello Township, where planned communities like Lake Quivira and Lake of the Forest are prominent.
