USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The Kansas River corridor anchors this regional survey, connecting the growing urban centers of Topeka and Lawrence with the western reaches of the Kansas City metropolitan area. Compiled in the mid-1950s and revised in 1974, the landscape reveals a transition from industrial and military activity to modern water management. Significant infrastructure projects like the Clinton Lake and Pomona Lake reservoirs appear alongside major Cold War-era installations, including Forbes AFB and the Sunflower Ordnance Works.
