About this map

The Missouri River carves a wide arc through this urban and industrial corridor, defining the boundaries between Kansas City, North Kansas City, and Riverside. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling infrastructure of the Charles B Wheeler Downtown Airport and the heavy industrial zones of Fairfax, where the Fairfax Bridge connects the river's banks. North of the river, the residential character of the era is evident in established communities like Gladstone, Gashland, and Claycomo.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous preservation sites, including Barry Cem and the Saint Matthews East Slope Cem Memorial Gardens. Educational and religious institutions such as the Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and Metropolitan Community Coll - Maple Woods reflect the mid-century development of the Missouri suburbs. The presence of the Kansas City Southern Ry underscores the region's long-standing role as a central transportation hub.
