1991 Map of Olathe

About this map

The expanding suburbs of Johnson County meet the established institutional and natural landscapes of Olathe and Lenexa in this 1991 revision. The map documents the city's growth along Santa Fe St, while preserving local landmarks such as the State School For The Deaf and the County Farm. To the north, the recreational character of the county is evident in the sprawling Shawnee Mission County Park, which centers on Shawnee Mission Lake. Smaller, older settlements like Monticello and Craig appear as the suburban grid begins to surround them. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Cedar Creek and Indian Creek, with the industrial footprint of a Pit and Sewage Disposal plant marking the edge of the urbanized area.
