2018 Map of Goddard

About this map

The growing community of Goddard serves as a central hub in this western Sedgwick County landscape, where suburban expansion meets long-standing rural agricultural roots. The map documents a transition in land use as residential developments and street grids from Wichita push westward, encroaching upon established farming sections. This evolution is anchored by several historic burial grounds, including Saint Mark Cem near the settlement of Saint Marks, as well as Pleasant Ridge Cem and Afton Cem. The natural drainage of Dry Cr and Afton Cr provides a topographical contrast to the increasingly dense network of local roads and thoroughfares. For those studying local heritage, the inclusion of the Prairie Sunset Trail and aviation landmarks like Eck Field illustrates the layering of transportation history over the prairie, from early rails-to-trails corridors to private airstrips.
