From Nashville, KS go south on 170th Avenue to Ridge Road (paved). East on
Ridge Road to the Harper county line. At the county line take a dirt road south.
Area 1 is a large liner containing the 1748 foot spot elevation which extends
nearly the entire mile from ridge road to where the road bends to the east.
Area 2 is another liner just south of where the road bends to the east.
It seemed lower than both area 1 and area 3.
Area 3 is a large liner south of area 2.
I could not tell if it was higher than area 1.
To reach areas 4 and 5, go east on the road just north of area 2 for 1 mile,
then north to a spot in the road where there is a gap in the fence on the east
side of the road. This is area 4.
Area 5 is on the opposite (west) side of the dirt road from area 4, in an area
that looks like it used to contain a homestead.
I continued north to Ridge Road and turned left (west). Go about 3/4 mile to a
small rise in the road. I parked here and hiked south to areas 6 and 7.
All areas were in unposted cultivated fields.
This was a nice place to watch the sunrise.
