Regions in Kansas


Regions in Kansas

There is no clear division between Eastern and Western Kansas, but there are clear regional distinctions.
Eastern Kansas
Most of the larger cities are in Eastern Kansas, which tends to be surprisingly hilly and have more trees and water than other parts of the state
Western Kansas
Western Kansas is more rural, with very low population density and a lot of open land. Farming forms the basis of the economy. With few notable exceptions, it is drier and flatter
Central Kansas
A mixture of farmland, rolling hills, and man-made lakes, central Kansas is a transition zone between the hilly east and the arid west. Home to Wichita, the largest city in the state.
Flint Hills
Down the center of Eastern Kansas run the Flint Hills, an area of great geological interest, with some of the last living grasslands of the true Great Plains
Southeastern Kansas
Far southeastern Kansas is part of the Ozarks region, with beautiful hills, coal mining, and endemic rural poverty. Ozark influence wanes the further you get from the southeast corner of the state.
