About this map

The Missouri River and Kansas River converge in this urban landscape, defining the historic core and industrial districts of Kansas City. The map details the transition from the French Bottom and Quality Hill near the riverfront to the southern residential expansions of Westport and Mission Hills. The infrastructure of a major midwestern hub is evident in the Kansas City Downtown Airport and the complex bridge crossings such as the ASB Bridge and Paseo Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous significant burial grounds, including the Union Cemetery and Huron Cemetery, alongside the academic grounds of the University of Missouri at Kansas City. The interplay of commerce and community is visible through labeled districts like Leeds and Sheffield, as well as established shopping areas like the Brookside Shops. This survey illustrates the dense street grid and civil services, from the Leon Mercer Jordan Post Office to the green spaces of Loose Memorial Park.
