The rural roads in the part of Kansas where my wife grew up are dirt and gravel, straight and well-graded. They generally run at one mile intervals; the enclosed square mile is known as a section.
Many people envision Kansas as deadly flat. Some of it is, but much is gently rolling, like this area. I love the subtle colors, even at this time of year.
