About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedCrawford County in southeast Kansas is defined by its reclaimed strip mine terrain, where historic coal mining operations left behind a mosaic of small lakes, timbered ridges, and dense brush that creates exceptional wildlife habitat. The county holds strong whitetail deer and turkey populations in dense cover, while numerous water bodies attract waterfowl during migration. The Mined Land Wildlife Area provides one of the most distinctive public hunting experiences in Kansas.
