  • Megalophiliu I" Kansas Folklore
    Megalophiliu I" Kansas Folklore by Edwin C. Moreland he Americar. Creat Plains is a physiographic region in the l'nited Stat~ which exhibits considerable physical and economical roherence. but which defies precise de­ T lineation. _\lthough considerable debate has been associated with the location of its eastern physical margins, geographers have tended to accept Nevin M. Fenneman's 1914 con­ clusion that the Great Plains was a physically identifiable region in the United Staes and that -the name Creat Plaim is so firmly attach­ ed to this region by custom that it must be retained."1 Whether you accept one system of lxlUndaries or another, parts of Kansas have been included as part of ewry Great Plains region proposed. As a Kansas geoprapher I can recognize the physical and corresponding economic differen(.."e5 behHen eastern and western Kansas, but I have difficulty in recognizing the cultural differences in Kansas which many studies of the Great Plains region propose are unique to the region. The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibilituy that folklore might be a useful tool to delineate a cultural boundary between thf: Creat Plains and Central Lowland regions in Kansas. The problem5 of defining physiographic subdivisions is com­ plicated in any region. but it is partieularly diWcult in plains states where impressi\'e local relief among the landforms is missing. Nevin Fenneman, in his classic study of the physiography of the western United States, de\·eloped a boundary of the Plains border which roughly cuts acr0S5 the Cretaceous system in the outerops of the Dakota formation of the Smoky Hills, across the Great Bend Prairie in central Kansas.
