Plains

Plains lies across the High Plains of southwestern Kansas, where open, semi-arid farmland runs beneath broad horizons and changeable prairie skies. This small Meade County community belongs to the agricultural heartland of the Great Plains, with wheat, cattle and irrigated fields shaping the surrounding countryside. The historic Santa Fe Trail’s Cimarron Cutoff crossed Meade County in the 19th century, recalling an important overland route between Missouri and New Mexico. Meade State Park and Meade Lake add a pocket of water and trees to this generally dry setting.
