About this map

Colonel James Jabara Airport and the expanding northern reaches of Wichita define this section of the Kansas landscape. The map shows a region in transition, where the grid-based rural sections of Sedgwick County meet the industrial and educational growth of the city. Significant institutional footprints are visible, including the Wichita Area Technical College Main Campus and Vatterott College, signaling the area's role in regional technical training.

Smaller established communities like Greenwich and Kechi remain distinct hubs amidst the developing residential corridors of Bel Aire. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly useful for locating several small burial grounds, such as the Lorraine Avenue Mennonite Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and Old Benton Cemetery. These sites, along with the natural drainage of Whitewater Creek and Prairie Creek, provide fixed points of reference in an area otherwise characterized by rapid suburbanization.
