About this map

The Republican River and Smoky Hill River converge to form the Kansas River, a hydrographic junction that defines the regional landscape. On the western bank, Junction City expands with a grid of residential streets and civic landmarks, including the Junction City Municipal Airport and Highland Cemetery. To the east, the adjacent community of Grandview Plaza sits near the riverbanks.

Military installations occupy a significant portion of the northern and eastern terrain, with the sprawling grounds of Camp Forsyth and Camp Whitside integrated into the river valley. The landscape is marked by diverse topographical features like Sherman Heights and Machine Gun Ridge, reflecting the area's long association with the nearby fort. Aviation and transport hubs are central here, from the Marshall Airfield to the multiple dams like Rimrock Dam and Breakneck Dam that manage the local waterways.
