About this map

The Missouri River forms the northern boundary of this mid-1960s landscape, where industrial and suburban expansion meet established neighborhoods like Fairmount, Maywood, and Sugar Creek. The dense urban footprint of Independence dominates the center, characterized by an extensive network of neighborhood schools including Columbian Sch and Southwest Sch. A complex industrial and transportation hub is evident at Air Line Junction, where the Blue River valley is crisscrossed by several major rail lines including the Kansas City Southern and Missouri Pacific.
