2018 Map of Shawnee

About this map

The Kansas River flows through this heavily developed corridor, marking the historic boundary between the neighborhoods of Kansas City and Argentine. This 2018 survey details a complex landscape of transportation and memory, where the Union Pacific RR Svc Rd and the Turner Memorial Bridge represent the industrial pulse of the region. The map is particularly dense with sites of genealogical importance, including the Huron Cem, Tensquatawa Burial Ground, and numerous smaller community grounds such as Shawnee Cem and Maple Hill Cem. These landmarks, alongside the winding path of Turkey Cr, reveal how the urban growth of Overland Park, Merriam, and Shawnee has integrated with the natural terrain of Badger Ridge and the older residential settlements that define the southern Wyandotte and northern Johnson County line.
