About this map

Greenwich and Kechi anchor this northeast portion of the Sedgwick County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the expanding reach of northeastern Wichita. The terrain is defined by the winding drainages of Whitewater Cr and Prairie Cr, which cut through the rectilinear road network of the Kansas prairie. In the southwest corner, the suburban development of Bel Aire and the educational campus of Wichita State University Technical signal the area's modern shift from rural farming to specialized aviation and technical industries, highlighted by the prominence of the Colonel James Jabara Airport.

Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries preserved within this transition zone. These local landmarks, including the Lorraine Avenue Mennonite Cem, Fairview Cem, and the Old Benton Cem near the Butler County line, provide critical geographic markers for the area's early settlement history. The map also records the exact county boundary between Sedgwick and Butler Counties, providing a clear view of how jurisdictional lines bisect the drainage basins of Dry Cr and the East Fork Chisholm Creek.
