In
this quiet little park, in extreme Northcentral Kansas is located
the exact Geographic Center of the continental United States. At one time
a motel and cafe operated at the site, but today it's just a peaceful out of the
way place to have a picnic.
This
plaque tells the details about how the Geographical Center
of the US was located by L. Hagadorn in 1940 with
information provided by the US Geodetic Survey.
