2017 Map of Lees Summit

About this map

Lee's Summit and the eastern edge of Kansas City anchor this landscape, where the suburban development of eastern Jackson County meets significant natural and institutional landmarks. The Little Blue River winds through the central corridor, flanked by several smaller water bodies including New Longview Lake and Old Longview Lake. Significant cemetery sites such as Floral Hills Cem and Mount Olivet Cem offer valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the Raytown and Grandview vicinities. The presence of Unity Village and its unique Unity Village Natural Bridge highlights the area's mid-century religious and community heritage. Educational and transport infrastructure is well represented by the Metropolitan Community College Longview campus and the tracks of the Kansas City Southern railroad, illustrating the region's continued growth and connectivity.
