1956 Map of Olathe

About this map

The growing community of Olathe anchors this mid-century survey of Johnson County, showing the town's expansion toward Lenexa and Lackmans. This edition captures a significant period of suburban transition, where purple-tinted urban updates overlap the traditional rural landscape of Monticello and Shawnee. Notable for its record of local education and social infrastructure, the map identifies several rural schoolhouses such as Meadowlane Sch, Mt Zion Sch, and Sunlight Sch, alongside the prominent Grange Hall.
