About this map

Military installations and a developing highway network define this mid-century landscape across the Kansas-Missouri border. The Sunflower Ordnance Works stands as a significant industrial landmark near Olathe, while regional defense is represented by Forbes AFB and Olathe NAS. The era of major water management is also visible, with the Clinton Reservoir noted as being under construction, alongside completed projects like the Pomona Reservoir.
