U.S. 40 Cross Section of the United States of America (Chapter 44: Plains Border)

 
That was then (1953).  



From chapter 44:
A few miles west of Salina, Kansas, begins a broad belt of somewhat rough and rolling country known to photographers as Plains Border.  Where U.S. 40 crosses it, in west-central Kansas, this region is about 150 miles broad, lying between the Osage Plains to the east and the High Plains to the west.
This is now.  (Approximate location.)

Google Maps

Salina is 175 miles west of Kansas City.
