1984 Map of Leavenworth

About this map

Fort Leavenworth Military Reservation and the surrounding institutional landscape dominate the western banks of the Missouri River in the mid-1980s. This survey illustrates the dense concentration of federal and state facilities that have long defined the character of Leavenworth, from the sprawling Federal Penitentiary Farm to the State Penitentiary near Lansing. The urban grid is heavily influenced by these major land holdings, with residential neighborhoods like Southern Heights and various schools including McArthur Sch and Bradley Sch filling the gaps between government property.
