About this map

Wichita's western suburban expansion is captured in high detail, showing the intricate street grids and neighborhood divisions that define the area's modern footprint. The landscape is anchored by the massive Wichita Dwight D Eisenhower National Airport and the smaller Westport Airport, reflecting the region's deep ties to aviation. Residential developments like Westlink Village, Meadowview, and Rolling Hills are interspersed with significant recreational and memorial sites, including Sedgwick Co Park, Resurrection Cem, and Resthaven Cem.

The hydrography of the region remains visible amidst the development, with the Arkansas River winding through the northeast and the Big Slough and Couskin Cr draining the plains. Extensive recreational trails such as the Meadows Park Trail, Prairie Sunset Trail, and the Arkansas River Path illustrate the area's shift toward multi-use urban planning. This survey provides genealogists and local historians an exact record of property boundaries, naming individual subdivisions like The Dell and County Acres as they stood in the late 2010s.
