Museums hold 16 specimens collected within 10 miles of Kansas between 1901 and 1969: 13 Animalia, 2 Fungi, 1 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Chidester, D. (Dale), G.T. Jones, George T. Jones and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

The federal mineral resources record lists 3 workings within 5 miles of Kansas: 2 producers, 1 past producer. 2 still produce. What was taken out: Calcium, Stone, Crushed/Broken, Chromium. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

Every working recorded in Seneca County

The National Weather Service names Kansas in 5 storm reports between 2003 and 2014: 2 hail, 2 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
