Geologic Map of Kansas

In The Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum chose Kansas as the symbol of dry, flat dreariness (except for the tornado of course). But dry and flat are only part of this quintessential Great Plains state. River beds, forested plateaus, coal country, cactus-covered buttes, and stony glacial moraines can also be found around Kansas. The GeoKansas site of the Kansas Geological Survey has some good resources for more detail and photos.
