1956 Map of Ocheltree
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The southern expansion of Olathe and its surrounding rural townships take shape in this mid-century survey of Johnson County. The landscape is defined by the intersection of major rail corridors, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the St Louis and San Francisco, which served as the primary infrastructure for the small agrarian communities of Clare, Bonita, and Ocheltree. The creation of Olathe Lake and the nearby Filtration Plant indicate the transition from a purely agricultural region to a suburbanizing one, providing critical water infrastructure for the growing population.
