Title : Missouri River and Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.A. October 1995
Caption :
Metropolitan Kansas City and the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers near the downtown area are featured in this south-looking, low-oblique photograph. Kansas City, the starting point for many expeditions by settlers to the western United States in the 1800s, is today a major commercial, industrial, and transportation center in a rich agricultural and livestock producing region. Visible clockwise from the Smithville Reservoir north of the city are Independence, the home of former U.S. President Harry S. Truman, and Lake Jacomo.
