Yeah, there's no question at all about the Prairie king being well within it's range there.

This map shows the Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) very close to that area too, and it doesn't seem like it's a 2 hour drive south......... unless the car is only going about as fast as a bicycle...

Again, it could be off a bit, but not by a WHOLE lot I wouldn't think....
