Quivira Lakes collection
Overview
The Quivira Lakes community was developed near Kansas City, Missouri and derived their name from a Spanish term for a Native American settlement west of the Missouri River. Folklore behind the settlement described Quivira as a large settlement filled with gold and treasure. This collection includes a residential history pamphlet and a history of Quivira Lakes titled, “The Quest for Quivira,” and compiled by John E. Olson.
