About this map

Gardner serves as the focal point of this Johnson County landscape, characterized by a transition from suburban residential developments to the surrounding agricultural plains. The town center is flanked by a significant concentration of aviation infrastructure, including the Johnson County Industrial Airport and the Gardner Municipal Airport, alongside smaller private strips like Hermon Farm Airport and Burbank Airport. This density of runways reflects the region's historical and modern role in regional logistics and general aviation.

Water features such as Gardner Lake, created by the Gardner City Dam, provide recreational focal points like the Gardner Golf Course and Prairie Highlands Golf Course. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Gardner Cemetery, Four Corners Cemetery, and the Fuller Cemetery to the southeast. The drainage patterns of Kill Creek, Bull Creek, and Cedar Creek define the natural topography that once dictated the early placement of these rural cemeteries and original homesteads.
