About this map

North Kansas City and the surrounding suburban sprawl of Clay County are meticulously documented in this 1990 revision, reflecting decades of post-war development north of the Missouri River. The landscape is a dense network of residential communities such as Gladstone, Oakview, and Riverside, interwoven with remnants of the area's rural past. Long-standing local landmarks like Barry Cem and the New Stark Cem persist alongside modern institutional additions like Maple Woods Community College.

The infrastructure of the riverfront is a primary focus, featuring the complex industrial and utility zones that support the region, including the Kansas City Waterworks and Sewage Disposal facilities. Cross-river connectivity is represented by the Fairfax Bridge and Chouteau Bridge, while the natural topography is still defined by waterways like Shoal Creek and the wooded terrain of the Maple Woods State Conservation Area.
