2010 Map of Wichita West

About this map

The Arkansas River and the massive Wichita Valley Center Floodway define the eastern drainage of this suburban landscape, which by 2010 had developed into a complex network of residential subdivisions and critical infrastructure. Centered on the western reaches of Wichita, the map details a transition from dense neighborhoods like Westlink Village and Meadowview to the sprawling grounds of the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport. This era shows a high concentration of recreational and community spaces, including the Sedgwick County Zoo near Horseshoe Lake, and significant memorial sites such as Resthaven Cemetery and Resurrection Cemetery. Water features like Big Slough, Couskin Creek, and Cadillac Lake are woven throughout the residential developments, illustrating the area's integrated approach to flood management and land use during this period of expansion.
