1956 Map of Wichita West

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Wichita expands westward during the mid-1950s, as suburban developments like Westlink Village, Rolling Hills, and Country Acres begin to fill the landscape between the Arkansas River and the meandering Cowskin Creek. This era of growth is defined by the proliferation of planned communities and institutional foundations, such as Sacred Heart College and Mount Carmel Academy. The geography reveals a transition from the agricultural roots of Delano and Attica townships toward a modernized urban fringe, anchored by the Wichita Municipal Airport and a network of new residential estates.
