2012 Map of North Kansas City

About this map

The Missouri River defines the southern and western boundaries of this landscape, carving the distinctive Kaw Bend and the Kansas City Reach as it flows past the urban core. The Kansas City Downtown Airport occupies the low-lying peninsula south of the river, while the Kansas City Waterworks and Fairfax-Jersey Creek Levee Unit illustrate the extensive infrastructure required to manage the river's proximity to the city. To the north, the terrain transitions into a dense network of suburban developments and small incorporated areas.
