2009 Map of Leavenworth

About this map

The Missouri River defines the eastern edge of this landscape, where the long-established military and civic presence of Leavenworth and Lansing has shaped the terrain. This area is characterized by a high concentration of institutional landmarks, from the Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery and Sherman Army Airfield in the north to the Federal Penitentiary Farm along the riverbanks. The city’s historic grid is evident near The Leavenworth Landing, while the southern reaches include the University of Saint Mary Leavenworth Campus and the community of Wadsworth. Prominent landforms like Pilot Knob Ridge and Sentinel Hill rise above the drainage systems of Threemile Creek and Fivemile Creek. Numerous burial grounds, including Mount Muncie Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery, reflect the deep genealogical roots of this river-port and military hub.
