About this map

The Kansas River flows eastward across this 1980s landscape, serving as a natural boundary between the unincorporated community of Grantville in Jefferson County and the township of Tecumseh to the south. This era is defined by a dense transportation and utility infrastructure, including the Kansas Turnpike and multiple major rail lines like the St Louis Union Pacific Southwestern and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe.

Genealogists can identify local landmarks such as Grantville Cem and Bethel Cem, alongside several rural schools including North Fairview Sch and Tecumseh South Sch. The area's industrial character is visible through several active Quarries and Gravel Pits, while recreational spaces like Lake Jivaro and Shawnee Lake are tucked into the southern hills. The western edge of the map shows the expansion of Topeka and the Billard Municipal Airport near the confluence of Shunganunga Creek.
