About this map

The Arkansas River and Little Arkansas River converge in a landscape defined by rapid mid-century urban expansion and industrial development. This survey reveals a dense grid of residential neighborhoods, schools, and parks punctuated by significant institutions like Wichita University and Friends University. The eastern outskirts show the footprint of aviation and defense, anchored by McConnell Air Force Base and the Cessna Landing Field.
