1990 Map of Lees Summit

About this map

The suburban expansion of Jackson County during the 1990s is documented here, where the municipal boundaries of Kansas City, Raytown, Lees Summit, and Grandview converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Blue River and the significant presence of Longview Lake, which serves as a major recreational anchor for the region. Significant institutional footprints include the sprawling grounds of Unity Village, home to the School of Christianity, and several large cemeteries like Floral Hills Cemetery and Mt Olivet Cemetery. Smaller family landmarks, such as Oliver Cem and Flannery Cem, remain as quiet indicators of the area's rural past, now surrounded by growing residential developments like Ruskin Heights and the established crossroads of Knobtown and Vale.
