About this map

Overland Park and Lenexa dominate this 2015 landscape, showcasing the dense suburban development of Johnson County in the early 21st century. The map reveals a significant concentration of educational institutions, including the Johnson County Community College and several satellite campuses such as the University of Kansas - Edward Campus. This academic infrastructure is interwoven with a complex network of residential streets and arterial highways that replaced the earlier agrarian patterns of the region.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with numerous small and large burial sites preserved amidst the urban sprawl. From the Woolford Farm Horse Cemetery to established grounds like Resurrection Catholic Cemetery and the Antioch Cemetery, these locations provide essential landmarks for local history researchers. Hydrological features like Indian Creek and Tomahawk Creek continue to shape the greenways, while landmarks like the Strang Mausoleum connect the modern city to its early 20th-century origins.
