South of the Missouri River, that longitude still remains the boundary between Kansas and ...

Water flow in the Arkansas River (as measured in central Kansas) has dropped from approximately 248 cubic feet per second (7.0 m 3 /s) average from 1944–1963 to 53 cubic feet per second (1.5 m 3 /s) average from 1984–2003, largely because of the pumping of groundwater for irrigation in eastern Colorado and western Kansas.
The stream has always threatened the area with countless floods through history, sometimes being flooded by the Kansas River [6] [7] or flooding into Indian Creek. [8] Several floods in the early 1900s prompted a 1918-1920 engineering project creating a flood channel to the Kansas River by boring a 28 by 32 foot wide and 1,450 feet (440 m) long ...

It was the only one of the four studies to be followed upon, with completion of the 18th Street Expressway Bridge over the Kansas River completed in 1959. [1] It replaced the Argentine Boulevard bridge over the river behind the modern-day BNSF railroad yard. Originally, the highway was part of the original K-58. [2]
The US-36 designation first appeared on Kansas maps in 1932. [3] Since then, the highway has been straightened and parts of it upgraded to freeway or super two status. Originally US-36 overlapped K-63 for a mile north out of Seneca, then turned east and left K-63 towards Oneida. Then in a March 21, 1939 resolution, it was approved to realign US ...
