About this map

The confluence of the Republican River and the Smoky Hill River forms the Kansas River here, a geographic focal point that shaped the development of Junction City. This 2016 survey details the modern layout of the city alongside the expansive military installations of Fort Riley. The presence of Marshall Army Airfield and numerous named terrain features like Custer Hill and Artillery Hill underscore the long-standing strategic importance of the landscape.

Genealogists and local historians will find the residential grids of Grandview Plaza and the older sections of Junction City clearly defined, along with local landmarks such as Highland Cem and Saint Marys Cem. The map illustrates the varied topography of the Flint Hills, showing how early settlement patterns and subsequent military expansion adapted to ridges and canyons such as Magazine Canyon and Pumphouse Canyon.
