About this map

Wichita serves as the focal point of this 2015 study, illustrating the dense urban grid and extensive suburban expansion of south-central Kansas. The confluence of the Arkansas River and the Little Arkansas River anchors the geography, while the industrial legacy of the region is evident in the presence of Mc Connell Air Force Base and the Cessna Aircraft Field. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the locations of several historic burial grounds, including Old Mission Cem and the Wichita Hebrew Cem.

Educational institutions such as Wichita State Univ and Friends Univ are clearly delineated, showing their integration into the city's fabric. The transportation network is a dominant feature, with the BNSF Railway and Union Pacific lines cutting through the landscape alongside modern developments like the Downtown Central Bike Path. Enclaves such as the incorporated city of Eastborough and the community of Bonnie Brae provide insight into the residential character of the area.
