1991 Map of Gardner
USGS Topo · Published 1996About this map
The US Naval Air Station (Inactive) dominates the eastern landscape of Johnson County, reflecting a period of mid-century military transition. This survey highlights the spatial relationship between the town of Gardner and significant Cold War-era infrastructure, including the northern boundary of the Sunflower Ordnance Works. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of Kill Creek and Little Bull Creek, where agricultural land-use patterns intersect with early suburban expansion. For local historians, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, such as St Columbia Cem near the air station and the Fuller Cem further south. Notable civil aviation markers like the Gardner Landing Field and the recreational development around Gardner Lake illustrate the multifaceted growth of the area as it evolved from a rural rail-and-road junction into a more complex regional hub.
