The Geographic Center of the Contiguous United States, located 3 miles outside of Lebanon, Kansas, was established in 1918 by the United States Geological Survey as, “the point where a plane map of the 48 states would balance if it were of uniform thickness.” Its commemorative park, established in 1941, has since changed stewardship and transformed into an American roadside attraction with four primary structures as noted by Google Maps: the Historical Landmark, Picnic Pavilion, Outdoor Barbecue Grill, and the U.S. Center Chapel.

Adjunct Assistant Professors Alaina Read Griffin (@podium_language) and Cody Tyler Schueller (@dolce_dongle) will talk about “On the Middle,” a documentation carried out by them of the Geographic Center of the Continental United States, located 3 miles outside of Lebanon, Kansas. Established in 1918 by the US Geological Survey, it is a tangible intersection of the geospatial methods that mapped the continent, the networks that service it, and the cultural norms that were instituted as a result. On this site are four specific architectural structures: the historic landmark, barbecue grill, picnic pavilion, and chapel. Together, these are coaxed from the large-scale modernist grid and emerge (perhaps unintentionally) as postmodern architecture typifying rural America.

“On the Middle” is funded through the 2025 Dean’s Professional Development Funds.

Wednesday, April 15,1 pm
Room 1100 A+DS

Kids, sometimes, when a woman and a man love each other very much, they have a baby. And sometimes that baby grows up to get a PhD in math. Congratulations, Dr. Conner Griffin!
