Kansas City

Kansas City features a diverse topography characterized by rolling hills and valleys, with elevations ranging from about 794 to 997 feet above sea level. The landscape is shaped by the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas rivers, resulting in a mix of elevated areas and flat river plains. The region's average elevation is approximately 879 feet, with the highest points often found in the more hilly areas of Lee's Summit and Grandview, where the terrain can rise noticeably above the surrounding flatlands​. This varied terrain not only adds to the scenic beauty of the area but also contributes to its distinct microclimates and ecosystems.
