GEOGRAPHY

State's Geological Center Point

Bushton, KS | Rice County

The Kansas Geological Survey determined that the state's center is about 1½ miles southeast of Bushton. The center point is on private property and not publicly accessible but you can see this bench that makes the case for being the center of Kansas at the Lyons Federal Bank, 209 S. Main.
