2012 Map of Wichita West

About this map

Wichita Mid-Continent Airport dominates the central-southern portion of this landscape, marking a massive aviation footprint in the western reaches of the city. To the north, the Sedwick County Zoo and surrounding residential areas like Westlink Village and Rolling Hills show the suburban character of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The drainage of Cowskin Cr and the Big Slough define the natural waterways, while the engineered Wichita-Valley Center Floodway and Arkansas River channel water through the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Local history is etched into the landscape via the Resurrection Cem, Jamesburg Cem, and the Rest haven Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. Educational and commercial hubs are also visible, including Newman Univ and the Ashley Park Towne Centre.
