The register behind the map
Kansas Forest Service register · retrieved October 9, 2026 · edition not stated
148 records are included in this imported selection. 134 have approximate map points; 14 remain searchable without a marker. Multiple trees can share one town or county point.
Register editions, retrieval dates, and individual measurement dates describe different things. This snapshot does not confirm current tree condition. Approximate map points do not locate individual trees or establish permission to visit.
Kansas Forest Service at Kansas State University, retrieved October 9, 2026. All 148 rows are included, including four explicitly labeled co-champions and repeated species with unequal scores. Names and scores remain as published, including spelling inconsistencies. Nomination years and last-measured dates are separate; the page does not state an edition date.
134 records match 60 approximate 2025 Census place points. Fourteen records in Fort Leavenworth, Sequin, Stilwell, Studley, Waterloo, and Willowdale do not exactly match Census place names and remain searchable without a marker. Counties are not supplied or inferred. Markers do not locate individual trees, and public visiting access is unclassified.
Circumference is in inches and height in feet. Crown spread is interpreted in feet, consistent with the published scoring convention; published scores are retained even when they differ from the listed measurements. No private addresses, nominator names, or tree coordinates are imported.
