The Kansas River valley is only 115 miles (185 km) long; [6] the surplus length of the river is due to meandering across the floodplain. The river's course roughly follows the maximum extent of a Pre-Illinoian glaciation, and the river likely began as a path of glacial meltwater drainage.
By Kansas law, no state highway may exist entirely within city limits. [1] As a result, some highways have been given to cities as they annex the land around them, as is the case with the eastern branch of K-150 in the Kansas City area, which is now entirely within Olathe and Overland Park. This part of K-150 is now known as Santa Fe in Olathe ...
K-222 was a 0.399-mile-long (0.642 km) spur route that served the city of Mound Valley in Labette County. The highway began at US-160 and ran northward to the Mound Valley city limits. The Kansas Department of Transportation removed K-222 from the state highway system in a December 5, 2000, resolution.
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 ...
K-99 crosses Salt Creek, which feeds the Fall River, and passes to the west and north of Severy, the latter side during the route's 1-mile-long (1.6 km) concurrency with east–west running US-400. The state highway crosses Plum Creek immediately to the north of US-400 and Otter Creek south of the city of Climax , which the highway bypasses to ...
