Description
Water has carved the distinctive rolling landscape of the Flint Hills, with its limestone ledges and hilltops thick with chert gravel. Water has also shaped how people have settled across Kansas and made use of the land. Early travelers followed the rivers. Prior to the railroad the Arkansas and Kansas Rivers served to transport people and goods.
