1961 Map of Wichita East

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Wichita expands across the confluence of the Little Arkansas River and the Arkansas River in this early 1960s survey, with extensive updates reflecting the city’s mid-century growth. The landscape is a mix of educational anchors like Wichita State University and Friends University, alongside the industrial and aviation hubs of McConnell Air Force Base and the Cessna Aircraft Airport. Historical preservation is visible at Cow Town near the river bend, while the city's infrastructure is defined by the Kansas Turnpike Toll Road and major rail lines like the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe. Numerous parochial schools and cemeteries, including White Chapel Cemetery and Old Mission Cem, provide valuable landmarks for genealogists tracing family roots in the suburban neighborhoods of Eastborough and Plainview.
