Alma: I-70 west of K-99
Built around a planned county-seat townsite, Alma grew into the administrative centre of Wabaunsee County. The small Kansas community lies in the Flint Hills, a broad belt of tallgrass prairie whose rounded uplands and limestone outcrops shape much of eastern Kansas. Interstate 70 passes through the surrounding county, linking this rural stretch with Kansas City to the east and central Kansas to the west. Alma is often called the City of Native Stone for its historic use of locally quarried limestone; the Wabaunsee County Courthouse forms part of its civic core. Grassland, tree-lined draws and working farms give the area a distinctly rural Great Plains character.

Among the cities of Kansas, Alma stands out for its extensive use of native limestone, which has earned it the title “City of Native Stone.” Set in the Flint Hills, the Wabaunsee County seat follows Mill Creek amid a region of tallgrass prairie and grazing land. Locally quarried stone gives Alma’s commercial blocks, homes and public buildings a distinctive, consistent character. The compact town centre reflects the settlement patterns of rural Kansas, while its position near the Flint Hills Scenic Byway connects it with one of North America’s last major tallgrass prairie regions.

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.
