About this map

Midamerica Nazarene University stands as a central landmark in this 2012 survey of Johnson County, reflecting the suburban expansion and institutional development of the era. The landscape is a mix of established residential corridors and modern technological hubs, including the Interstate 35 and 119th Street Technology Park and South Lake Technology Park. Local heritage is preserved through several family and community burial grounds such as Monticello Cem, Maupin Family Cem, and Smith Cem, which remain interspersed among newer developments.

Waterways like Mill Creek and Coon Creek thread through the terrain, alongside recreational spaces like Falcon Ridge Golf Course and Smiley's Golf Complex. The map documents the intricate road network of the early 21st century, from the dense grid near Lackmans to the larger tracts around Monticello. These features illustrate the transformation of once-rural township land into a sophisticated suburban environment defined by both its educational centers and high-tech industrial parks.
