2009 Map of Shawnee

About this map

Kansas River flows through this 2009 record of the western Kansas City suburbs, separating the northern neighborhoods of Muncie and Turner from the developed residential blocks of Shawnee and Merriam to the south. The landscape is a mix of dense suburban housing and industrial corridors, notably along the Turner Diagonal Fwy and the sprawling rail yards in Argentine. Historical and cultural sites are scattered throughout, including the Wyandotte National Burying Ground and Tensquatawa Burial Ground, reflecting the region's complex heritage. Local leisure and research are represented by the Milburn Golf and Country Club and the Kansas State University Research and Extension Center, while water management features like the Pierson Park Dam and Black Swan Dam illustrate the local terrain's modification. These details capture the character of eastern Kansas as it navigated the start of the twenty-first century.
