About this map

Goddard serves as the central hub of this Sedgwick County landscape, showing the transition from the expanding western edge of Wichita to the agricultural plains of Kansas. The town layout is defined by its industrial core along E Industrial St and its recreational conversion of former rail corridors into the Prairie Sunset Trail. Further north, the smaller settlement of Saint Marks anchor the rural sections, surrounded by a network of sectional roads and family-owned farmsteads.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of several community burial sites, including Saint Mark Cem, Pleasant Ridge Cem, Chikaskia Cem, and Afton Cem. These sites, often positioned near natural features like Dry Cr or Afton Cr, mark the historical boundaries of early townships. The map documents a moment of suburban integration, where traditional township lines like t27s r2w meet the modern residential developments of the Wichita metropolitan area.
