1961 Map of Wichita West

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Wichita Mid-Continent Airport anchors the southwestern expansion of the city, illustrating the post-war transition from rural Delano Twp into a sprawling residential and industrial hub. The landscape is defined by the massive Wichita Valley Center Floodway and the Arkansas River, which frame a dense network of suburban developments like Westlink Village, Rolling Hills, and County Acres. The influence of the Missouri Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads remains visible, cutting through the urban grid toward the industrial sectors and sandpits near Horseshoe Lake. Educational and religious institutions, including Sacred Heart College and Friends University, are prominent landmarks among numerous neighborhood schools like McCollom Sch and Benton Sch. Cultural and civic history is further detailed through several major burial grounds, such as Resthaven Cemetery and the older Jamesburg Cem.
