BEST CENTRAL LOCATION
Strategically located in Central Kansas. Russell County is where two major Highways (Highway 281 & Highway 40) meet and half of the communities are located along Interstate 70. With modern conveniences, the remaining communities can be found winding throughout the county along K-18. The communities within the county offer small town charm, but are also in close proximity to a city when needed.
