The Missouri River corridor serves as the industrial and transportation heart of this mid-1960s landscape, winding between Kansas City and North Kansas City. This specialized slope map emphasizes the sharp elevation changes between the river's floodplain and the bluffs to the north, where residential developments like Gladstone, Oakview, and Gashland were expanding. The bottomland is dominated by massive infrastructure, including the Kansas City Municipal Airport on a peninsula formed by the river's bend and the adjacent Fairfax Municipal Airport across the state line.
