De Soto: K-10 WB past Cedar Creek Parkway
Built around a riverfront settlement, De Soto grew into a Kansas City metropolitan community on the south side of the Kansas River. The city lies where the wooded corridors of Cedar Creek and the river meet the rolling farmland of northeastern Kansas, while K-10 provides an east–west link between Lawrence and the metro area. De Soto’s historic downtown retains the scale of a small Kansas town, even as development has changed the surrounding countryside. The former Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant, established during the Second World War on land east of the city, remains an important part of the area’s industrial history. Cedar Creek Parkway and K-10 place this stretch within a setting of creek valleys, fields and suburban connections.

The terrain of Kansas ranges from rolling hills in the east to High Plains grassland in the west, creating a broad, open state shaped by prairie and long river valleys. This central area lies within the agricultural heartland, where wheat fields and cattle country extend across the plains. The Arkansas River follows a wide course through central and southern Kansas, while the Flint Hills to the east preserve one of North America’s largest remaining expanses of tallgrass prairie. Kansas also holds an important place in US civil-rights history: the Brown v. Board of Education case began in Topeka.

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.
