About this map

Wichita serves as a thriving hub of transportation and education during the early 1940s, anchored by the winding Arkansas River and the industrial Drainage Canal. The city's rail-driven economy is evident through the convergence of major lines like the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Missouri Pacific, meeting at the centrally located Union Station. Beyond the dense urban grid, the landscape transitions into a sprawling network of community institutions, including Wichita University, Friends University, and St Marys Academy.
