Kansas (KS)

On the runs: Northern Plains to Texas holding to California

Record held: 16 fields — 6 published, 10 not published / not yet checked.

This is a thin record because the state publishes little of this layer. What it publishes is below; every field it does not publish is marked plainly instead of filled in. A short page with honest gaps is the right page for this state.
