The city of Topeka, Kansas, the State Capital, is centrally located in Shawnee County, in east central Kansas, near the geographic center of the continental United States. The city covers 57.6 square miles surrounded by unincorporated areas of Shawnee County.

The Kansas River and its tributaries, Soldier and Shunganuna creeks, flow through the center of Topeka. Section 216 of the 1970 Flood Control Act provides authority to re-examine complete civil work projects.
