}}Homer (also known as "Homer Station") is an unincorporated area in Russell County, Kansas, United States.[2] It lies on the border between Grant and Russell Townships.[3] There is no community or settlement at Homer.[4]

History

Homer was once a stop on the Union Pacific Railroad.[5] A rural post office operated at the site from 1879 to 1887.[6]

Geography

Homer is located at {{coord|38|52|10|N|98|47|51|W|type:city}} (38.8694558, -98.7975811) at an elevation of 1,867 feet (569 m).[1] It lies approximately {{convert|5|mi}} north of the Smoky Hill River and {{convert|6.5|mi}} south of the Saline River in the Smoky Hills region of the Great Plains.[2][7] Homer is on U.S. Route 40 Business roughly 3 miles (5 km) east of Russell, the county seat, and 1 mile (1.5 km) north of Interstate 70.[2]

Transportation

Homer lies immediately east of the intersection of U.S. Route 40 Business, which runs southeast-northwest, and Homer Road, an unpaved east-west county road.[2]

The Kansas Pacific (KP) Line of the Union Pacific Railroad runs through Homer, parallel to the U.S. 40 business route.[2][8]
