Kansas Geography at a Glance
Kansas sits in the Great Plains of the American Midwest, bordered by Nebraska to the north, Missouri to the east, Oklahoma to the south, and Colorado to the west. The land rises gradually from the tallgrass Flint Hills in the east to the High Plains in the west, drained by the Kansas (Kaw) and Arkansas rivers.
