Hawortu. | Physiography of Western Kansas. 49) 
Taken as a whole the western part of Kansas is much more 
varied in its scenery than one would think from its position in the 
great plains area. The diversities of elevation are not great, rarely 
exceeding 300 feet and averaging perhaps less than 200 feet. But 
when one is near any of the drainage streams one almost invariably 
finds a varied and pleasing landscape which in many respects is 
rarely surpassed in America.
