About this map

Olathe and its surrounding suburban communities show a landscape defined by rapid expansion and modern transportation corridors during the mid-2010s. The dense residential and commercial networks of Shawnee and Lenexa are bisected by major thoroughfares like College Blvd and W 95th St. This era reflects a high concentration of institutional and memorial sites, from the sprawling campus of MidAmerica Nazarene Univ to historic burial grounds such as Olathe Memorial Cem and the Maupin Family Cem.

Water features like Shawnee Mission Lake and New Olathe Lake provide significant recreational anchors within the developing grid. The map preserves several older place names, including Monticello, Craig, and Lackmans, which persist alongside the burgeoning development. These localized points of interest offer genealogical value, documenting the spatial relationship between newer subdivisions and established landmarks like Oak Lawn Memorial Gardens and the Shawnee Mission Memory Gardens.
