Curving streets

The map
Prairie Village is a first-ring suburb of Kansas City, on the Kansas side of the state line in Johnson County. Its map has a clear signature. Instead of a strict grid, most residential streets curve and loop gently, forming long, rounded blocks of single-family homes on large tree-covered lots.
The community was developed by J.C. Nichols in the 1940s and 1950s as a planned residential suburb, and it was incorporated as a city in 1951. At its centre is the Prairie Village Shopping Center, one of the region's early suburban shopping centres, set where the main roads cross.
A Prairie Village map poster makes a graceful pattern of these designed curves. Straight arterial roads mark the edges, and inside them the residential streets bend and flow. It is a clear document of mid-century American suburban planning and looks at home on a kitchen or entryway wall.

The mid-century Prairie Village Shopping Center sits at a central crossroads and serves as the community's recognisable hub.
Straight main roads such as Mission Road run across the town. They frame the curving neighbourhoods like the edges of a picture.
