This map shows Kansas City split across a state border—one city, two names, two states. For ordinary residents, it meant choosing which side of the river you called home, affecting your taxes, your mail, and which neighbors you could walk to visit.
Art · Full story
You're standing on the bridge between Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas in the early 1900s. The river runs beneath you, and so does an invisible line. On one side, your job. On the other, cheaper rent. The map in your pocket tries to make sense of it all, but the city keeps growing in both directions, ignoring the line drawn on paper.

Do you live in a place where a political boundary affects where people choose to live or work?
