The confluence of the Missouri River and the Kansas River anchors this 1980s landscape, illustrating the massive industrial and suburban expansion across the Missouri-Kansas border. The map details the dense urban cores of Kansas City, Independence, and Leavenworth, linked by a complex web of interstate highways and heavy rail lines including the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe. Beyond the city centers, the transition to rural land is marked by significant public works and institutions, from the sprawling Kansas City International Airport to the Fort Leavenworth Military Reservation.
