2018 Map of Manhattan

About this map

Manhattan serves as the focal point of this landscape where the Big Blue River and Kansas River converge. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Bluemont Hill and Stagg Hill, which overlook the expansive alluvial plains of Moehlman Bottoms and Ashland Bottoms. This modern survey details the extensive urban grid of the city, including neighborhoods near Sunset Park and the academic corridor along Hunting Ave. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, including the large Sunset Cem near the city center, and the more peripheral Saint Patricks Cem and Valley View Memorial Garden. The periphery shows the transition from urban development to the rural character of Rocky Ford and Fairmont, as well as the significant infrastructure of Fort Riley Blvd connecting the community to the nearby military installation.
