Exactly that! The *geographic* center (as opposed to the population center)
of the Lower 48 is near Lebanon in Smith County, Kansas. That's 115 highway
miles NNW of Salina, or 225 highway miles WNW of Topeka.
Which just about puts Topeka midway between the geographic center and the
population center! Can't get much more central than that.
