and speaking of......Kansas. Kansas is the geographic center of the 48 states - marked in a pasture in Lebanon, by the Nebraska border. Forty miles away is the magnetic/geodetic center of North America - the reference point for all land survey in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Provided by: Reference.com
Sort of makes you wonder why Kansas is considered to be in the West, and Ohio is in the Midwest! (and the term "East" is reserved for states hugging the Atlantic)
