Topeka: I-70 at - Gage/MacVicar Exit 358
Topeka occupies a broad stretch of the Kansas River valley in northeastern Kansas. As the state capital, it is home to the Kansas State Capitol, whose construction began in 1866 and continued for decades. The city also holds a defining place in US civil-rights history: Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, decided by the Supreme Court in 1954, rejected racial segregation in public schools. Interstate 70 crosses the northern side of the city, linking Topeka with Kansas City to the east and the wider Kansas plains to the west. Near Gage Boulevard, the motorway corridor runs between residential areas, commercial districts and tree-lined ground on the city’s gently rolling urban edge.

Topeka sits on the Kansas River in northeastern Kansas, United States, where the river valley opens across the grassland plains of the state’s east. As Kansas’s capital, it is centred on the Kansas State Capitol, built between 1866 and 1903 and crowned by a 306-foot dome. Topeka also holds an important place in US civil-rights history: the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling grew from a school desegregation case brought by local families. The Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park preserves Monroe Elementary School, a site tied to that struggle.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
