1990 Map of Independence
USGS Topo · Published 1995About this map
The Missouri River and Blue River converge at the northern edge of this urban landscape, where the industrial corridors of Sugar Creek and Fairmount meet the residential expansion of the late twentieth century. This 1990 revision highlights a complex infrastructure of rail junctions and highways, including the Southeast Freeway and the Kansas City Southern railroad. Notable landmarks tied to local history include the Truman Library and the extensive Harry S Truman Sports Complex to the west. The map is particularly dense with historic burial grounds like Mt Washington Cemetery and Woodlawn Cemetery, which provide significant data for genealogists. The topography reveals the transition from the river bottomlands to the developed ridges of Independence and Raytown, shaped by the proximity of the Little Blue River and several quarries.
