About this map

Kansas City and the surrounding borderlands of eastern Kansas and western Missouri appear in this mid-century compilation, showing a region defined by its dense river networks and major transportation corridors. The wide valley of the Kansas River anchors the northern section, where Topeka and Lawrence serve as primary hubs. Southward, the landscape shifts into the drainage basins of the Marais des Cygnes River and South Grand River, revealing a pattern of smaller agrarian settlements like Appleton City and Schell City.
