2022 Map of Mount Sunflower

About this map

Mt Sunflower, the highest natural point in Kansas, rises within this High Plains landscape at the border of Colorado and Kansas. This modern survey illustrates the expansive, high-altitude terrain where Wallace County meets Cheyenne County and Colorado's Kit Carson County. The drainage patterns of the shortgrass prairie are defined by seasonal watercourses like Turtle Cr, Goose Cr, and Willow Cr, which carve subtle relief into the flat-topped divides. A grid of section-line roads provides the primary access to this remote agricultural region, including colorful local thoroughfares such as Crimson Cloud Rd and Crosswind Rd. The map also captures the precise intersection of several township and range boundaries, including t12s r43w, documenting the modern land management and road networks near the state line.
