          holiday porch with a Raven map                              

 

  

How nice it would be to open your front door and find a Raven Map, carefully rolled and shipped in a heavy cardboard tube, waiting for you!

 

There's still plenty of time for holiday delivery, even with standard shipping.

 

 

 

ROUTE 66:  Kansas

  

Kansas MapRoute 66 traveled through the southeastern corner of Kansas for 12.8 miles. This area of the state contains a portion of the Ozark Plateau made of Mississippi limestone deposited there over 300 million years ago.  As you can see on the map, the elevations gently rise from around 680' in the east, to 4,039' (Mt.Sunflower) near the Colorado border in the west.

 

The geographic center of the contiguous 48 states lies near the town of Lebanon, and you can't talk about Kansas without mentioning Dorothy!

 

  Please send any photos taken along Route 66!
