Pictorial map showing the cities and towns of Kansas City, Missouri; Harlem, Missouri; Westport, Missouri; Rosedale, Kansas; Argentine, Kansas; Armourdale, Kansas; Armstrong, Kansas; Riverview, Kansas; Kansas City, Kansas; and Wyandotte, Kansas. At the time of its publication, the map had an extensive key listing the numbered buildings, most of which has been removed. Steamboats traveling along the Missouri River can be seen. The map displays the steep bluffs and topography of the region. It also indicates Kansas City's expansion southward away from the Missouri River, the development of the stockyards industry in the West Bottoms and interconnectivity with the surrounding cities and towns that followed completion of the Hannibal Bridge in 1869.
