French Bottom and the Kansas River Bend highlight the industrial and riverine roots of the city, where the Missouri River meets the Kansas River. This 2017 survey details the complex urban grid stretching from North Kansas City south through Kansas City to Prairie Village. The map documents a high concentration of institutional landmarks, including the University of Missouri-Kansas City and Rockhurst University, alongside established residential enclaves like Mission Hills and Fairway. Genealogists will find significant value in the clear demarcation of historic burial grounds such as Elmwood Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and the Shawnee Methodist Mission Cemetery. The industrial corridor is anchored by the Kansas City Southern Railway and the settlement of Leeds, while the northern reaches are dominated by the Charles B Wheeler Downtown Airport.
