This is the point where Tomahawk Creek flows into Indian Creek near Leawood Park. Both creeks have suburban walking and biking trails that follow their winding path through Johnson County, and both the trails and creeks connect here near Leawood Park. The Indian Creek Trail is twenty five miles long while the Tomahawk Creek Greenway trail is twelve miles. Indian Creek originates in Olathe near 135th and Mur-Len while Tomahawk Creek starts near the Overland Park Arboretum and flows north and east until it connects to Indian Creek. Indian Creek follows a mostly northern and eastern path, crossing into Missouri and then connecting to the Blue River about two miles east and slightly north of this location. The Blue River flows north from there, traveling through Swope Park and reaching the Missouri River between Kansas City, Missouri, and Independence.
