About this map

The growing city of Olathe and its northern neighbors define this portion of Johnson County, where the transition from suburban expansion to persistent rural pockets is visible in the landscape. Significant water bodies such as Shawnee Mission Lake and New Olathe Lake anchor the region's geography, while the drainage networks of Little Mill Creek and Indian Creek carve through the developing terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense concentration of burial sites that trace the area's heritage, from the large Shawnee Mission Memory Gardens to more intimate locations like the Maupin Family Cemetery and Asa Smith Cemetery. Smaller named locales such as Craig and Lackmans sit alongside the larger municipalities of Shawnee and Lenexa, illustrating the complex municipal borders and historical crossroads that characterize this part of the Kansas City metropolitan area.
