2018 Map of Maize

About this map

Maize and the northern outskirts of Wichita define this 2018 topographic survey, showing a landscape defined by the convergence of the Arkansas River and the Little Arkansas River. The modern development of the region is evident in the transition from the gridded streets of Valley Center to the recreational corridors of the Maize Bike Path. Significant landmarks such as Maize Airport and the Maize Cem anchor the community's local history and infrastructure. The natural hydrology of the region is highly visible, with the Big Slough and Little Slough weaving through the agricultural and residential boundaries of Childs Acres and Berwet. This survey captures the suburban expansion of Sedgwick County, where major drainage features like Cowskin Cr and Wilson Lake interface with an increasingly dense network of section-line roads and residential plats.
