1964 Map of Independence

About this map

Independence and the eastern reaches of Kansas City are defined by an intricate mesh of rail lines and residential expansion in the mid-1970s. The industrial corridors along the Blue River and the Missouri River showcase a landscape shaped by heavy transport, where the Kansas City Southern Ry and Missouri Pacific RR intersect at Rock Creek Junction. This era captures the transition of the region from established streetcar suburbs like Fairmount and Maywood to the suburban density of Raytown and Englewood.
