2010 Map of Mount Sunflower

About this map

Mount Sunflower, the highest point in Kansas, rises within this section of Wallace County near the Colorado border. The landscape is defined by the high plains drainage patterns of Turtle Creek, Goose Creek, and Willow Creek, which meander through a geometric grid of rural roads. This 2010 survey illustrates the remote agricultural character of the region, where long-established section lines are traced by thoroughfares like County Rd 57 and Road Wa-N3. The transition between the Kansas and Colorado coordinate systems occurs here, marking a significant survey boundary. While settlements are absent from this specific quadrangle, the network of routes such as County Road E and County Road EE reveals the infrastructure supporting the sprawling ranchlands and farms at the state's western edge.
