Morton County, Kansas
Morton County is as far southwest as you can get in Kansas without falling into Oklahoma. Elkhart is the county seat.
It’s so flat here, you can watch your dog run away for three days. U.S. Highway 56 slices through, through Rolla and Elkhart.
With just over 2,500 residents, it’s quiet. Real quiet. If you’re a nature lover, Cimarron National Grassland has a surprising amount of scenery and wildlife.
