2018 Map of Mount Sunflower

About this map

Mount Sunflower, the highest natural point in Kansas, rises within this High Plains landscape where Wallace County meets the Colorado state line. The terrain is defined by a sparse but systematic grid of rural transit ways, including Co Rd D and Co Rd C, which navigate the open country between intermittent drainages. Waterways such as Turtle Cr in the north and Goose Cr and Willow Cr further south indicate the seasonal hydrology of this arid region. The boundary between Kansas and Colorado is clearly delineated, crossing through several townships including t11s r43w and t12s r43w. This 2018 survey reveals the modern road network of the High Plains, where uniquely named routes like Crimson Cloud Rd and Xpressway Rd serve the agricultural and ranching interests along the borderlands of Kit Carson and Cheyenne counties.
