1934 Map of Independence
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Independence serves as the focal point of this 1934 survey, shown during a period of significant growth and institutional expansion on the eastern edge of Kansas City. The landscape is defined by its deep connectivity to the regional rail network, with lines from the Missouri Pacific, Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, and the K C Term crisscrossing the terrain. Large-scale public and social sites like the Kansas City Tubercular Hospital, the Municipal Farm, and the Girls Home highlight the urban-fringe development patterns of the era.
