2015 Map of Maize

About this map

The Arkansas River and Little Arkansas River converge toward the northwestern reaches of Wichita, defining a landscape where riparian corridors meet suburban expansion. This 2015 survey shows the transition from the concentrated residential blocks of Valley Center and the growing municipality of Maize to the open agricultural sections and river bottomlands. Small settlements and points of interest like Berwet and Coleman appear alongside water features such as Wilson Lake and the meandering Big Slough. Transportation and aviation history is evident through the presence of Maize Airport and Riverside Airport, serving the region's general aviation needs near the city periphery. Local history is anchored by the Maize Cem, while the modern residential character is reflected in developments like Hampton Lakes and the curiously named Acres.
