Our hydrological maps showcase every river, stream and body of water over 0.2 miles in diameter in crisp detail.

What are the different types of maps of Kansas available on Muir Way?
Our Kansas maps are available in several different styles, including:
Kansas relief maps - Our relief map of Kansas combines 1937 historical map imagery with modern technology to showcase Kansas’s beautiful topography in an exciting new way. Using Digital Elevation Data and hand-shaded relief, we’ve custom enhanced a vintage map of Kansas to create a surreal 3D effect that remains two-dimensional.
Kansas elevation maps - Our stunning black and white Kansas elevation map also uses Digital Elevation Data from the USGS to create a high-contrast 3-dimensional effect, providing crisp detail and a refreshing view of Kansas’s native landscape without the color-coded key.
Kansas hydrological maps - Every state’s waterways tell a different story. Available in multiple colors, our Kansas hydrology maps showcase the networks of Kansas’ river systems and lakes in minute detail. On our full Kansas state hydrological map, you can follow the path of every single river and intermittent stream. For an extra aesthetic touch, we apply a method called the Strahler Stream Order to show the hierarchy of streams as they flow from their source, with rivers shown thicker as they acquire the flow of tributaries. We also offer a Missouri regional hydrological map featuring certain rivers and their surrounding land areas in Kansas.
Kansas vintage maps - Unlike our relief map series, our historical maps don’t feature elevation, but they do feature a snapshot of history beautifully restored and ready to display. Our vintage maps are reproduction prints, carefully enhanced to maintain their vintage charm without the wear & tear. View our vintage map of Kansas from 1883, 1876, and our 1957 Kansas City, MO/KS map.

What are the regions in Kansas?
Kansas is divided into three geographical regions:
- The Dissected Till Plains - North of the Kansas River and east of the Big Blue River, this region of Kansas is marked by bluffs and has rich soil for agriculture. The Dissected Till Plains stretch across several states in the US.
- The Southeastern Plains - This region also covers several states. Embodying the southeastern third of Kansas, the Southeastern Plains region is divided into the Osage Plains in the east, and the rocky terrain of the Flint Hills in the west.
- The Great Plains - Spanning the western half of Kansas, the Great Plains region slopes upward from 1,500 to 4,000 feet above sea level as it approaches the Colorado border. This region contains Kansas’ highest point, Mount Sunflower.
