    Extractions: May 26, 2004 The questions at the 2004 National Geographic Bee started off easy. "So, are you really excited?" asked National Geographic Society CEO and president John Fahey to the crowd of 55 state winners, families, and friends gathered in Grosvenor Auditorium at National Geographic headquarters in Washington D.C. this morning. That was as simple as the questions would be for the ten national finalists, who included four repeat state winners. Matthew Wells, 13, from Montana came in second, with Hawaii's Eric Liaw, also a repeat state winner, coming in third. For taking top honors, Wojtanik received a U.S. $25,000 scholarship from National Geographic, a lifetime Geographic membership, and a trip to a Busch Gardens/Sea World Adventure Camp, provided by second-year corporate sponsor ING. Wells received a $15,000 scholarship and Liaw a $10,000 scholarship for their respective second- and third-place finishes. The other seven finalists received an award of $500 apiece.

    Extractions: July 19, 2004 The long layover in Kansas City was necessary to fulfill all the ceremonial and educational responsibilities these men find themselves responsible for. Virtually everywhere they stop, people want to meet with them, ask questions, visit the boats, and look at their equipment. Scott Mandrell, who is playing Lewis, has to give talks and grant interviews all along the route. Their days in Kansas City were fully scheduled. And a few spectators want to go along. Twice in June people offered to join the group and play the role of York, Clark's slave, for a while. One of them was an African visiting the United States. Volunteers should know that it's not all fun and speeches. A certain amount of work has to get done every day on the three boats the reenactors are traveling in. One day the mast of the keelboat was tangled in grapevines hanging from a tree. The only way to cut it free was for someone to climb the mast. Mandrell one day made an oar, from scratch. (Lewis and Clark had to do this periodically as well.)

    Extractions: Meades Ranch in Kansas boasts the geodetic base point for the North American Datum of 1927 ( NAD 27 ) at (39.224079, -98.541807). This is at or very near the geographic center of the forty-eight contiguous U.S. states . The base point was the reference point for almost all land survey measurements in the United States from 1927 until the establishment of the North American Datum of 1983 ( NAD 83 ) and the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84). NAD 27 was based on the Clarke Ellipsoid of A reference ellipsoid is an mathematical construct designed to closely match the actual shape of the earth – the geoid . Calculations for map projections are performed using the parameters of the ellipsoid. The geoid, being irregular, is impossible to precisely model mathematically. For the purpose of the NAD 27, the geoidal height at Meades Ranch was assumed to be zero so that the geoid and the ellipsoid coincide at that point. edit edit Retrieved from " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meades_Ranch%2C_Kansas

93. Geospatial Analysis And Geographic Information System Techniques Applied To The
    Geospatial Analysis and Geographic Information System Techniques Applied to theOgallala Aquifer under Southwest kansas. M. Driessen, J. Howard  
    http://www.emporia.edu/earthsci/student/driessen1/gsa_gis_ogallala_swks.htm
    
    Extractions: The Ogallala aquifer is only a part of the High Plains aquifer, yet it is the single most important water source of the southwest corner of Kansas. The High Plains aquifer underlies an area of about 45,660 km (174,000 mi ) that extends through parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. The High Plains aquifer system approximates the boundary of the Great Plains physiographic region. The Ogallala aquifer is one of four major formations of the High Plains aquifer system. The water level in the Ogallala aquifer ranges from 15 to 120 meters (50 to 400 feet). Because of its lack of contact with the surface, the water contained in the Ogallala aquifer is very clean, and is used for agricultural, livestock, industrial, and domestic consumption. In 2003, many different studies were done on the portion of the Ogallala aquifer underlying southwest Kansas. One report was investigating the impact of community water systems on the Ogallala aquifer. In this report, the conclusion was that very little was done to monitor the water coming from the Ogallala, due to its relative availability, and the actual impact on the aquifer water level was extremely insignificant when compared to the biggest influence in water level: farming. Much of the former prairie of western Kansas is now irrigated cropland, major crops being corn, wheat and sorghum. Corn is among one of the biggest cash crops of Kansas, and also the one of the many crops raised that requires substantial amounts of water. This has lead to a disturbing trend in the availability.

The region has a vast, generally high plateau, called the plains, extending from northwestern Canada through parts of the Northwest Territories, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. In the United States the plains continue south through sections of Montana, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas. The region is bordered on the east by the Canadian Shield and the Central Lowland of the United States and on the west by the Rocky Mountains . In Canada the plains are frequently known as the Interior Plains. The plains feature productive grain and livestock farms and extensive petroleum and coal deposits. The area of the Great Plains is 3.2 million sq km (1.2 million sq mi), including 1.8 million sq km (700,000 sq mi) in Canada and 1.4 million sq km (500,000 sq mi) in the United States. The Great Plains include around 18 percent of Canada’s territory and 15 percent of the territory of the United States.

    Extractions: All Federal agencies are charged with effective management of scarce capital assets to ensure that public resources are wisely invested. Adhering to this policy, USGS scientists embarked on a study to evaluate the net benefits to society of the USGS product: The National Map , and have recently published study results that analyzed overall costs and benefits associated with The National Map . USGS Circular 1271, " A Cost-Benefit Analysis of The National Map " (by David Halsing, Kevin Theissen, and Richard Bernknopf), describes methods used to determine the value of this type of unique product, elaborates on the results of the study, and defines the usefulness of this product, which provides the Nation with spatial map data that are current, integrated, consistent, complete, and more accessible than in previous formats. The scientists also report that this research methodology, using a simulation approach to evaluate information technology and spatial data investments, is promising for other similar applications. Circular 1271 is currently available online (see link above) and in hard copy by contacting 1-888-ASK-USGS.

99. Missouri Geographic Alliance Lesson
    This lesson asks students to find the geographic reasons for black westwardmigration after Exodusters, Black Migration to kansas After Reconstruction.  
    http://mga.drury.edu/lessons/us/exodusters.htm
    
    Extractions: Review the events preceding the end of the Civil War. How did geography shape those events? After reading the article ask student to identify the "push" and "pull" migration factors. How did geography shape these forces? Between 1870 and 1880, the number of African-Americans living in Kansas increased from 16,250 to 43,000. In the early 1870's, these people came mainly from Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee. A person could catch a steamboat in Nashville, Tennessee, and travel to Kansas City for the price of $10.00. The ride from Nashville to Cairo, Illinois, cost $2.50; on to St. Louis was $1.50 more, and from St. Louis to Kansas City was between $5.00 and $6.00. Some of these travelers came by train as well. In 1877 and 1878, five groups of African-Americans came to Kansas from Lexington, Kentucky. In April, 1877, they founded the town of Nicodemus, Kansas. By 1880, there were 700 people living in Nicodemus. Some of them became farmers in the area, but some had to stay in eastern Kansas to work on farms, railroads, and mines or do domestic work to get enough money to move farther west.
