	The High Plains
Kansas State Historical Marker
Wallace County
	KS, USA

	Here on the western border of Kansas is the heart of yesterday's buffalo and Indian country. Until the 1870s millions of buffalo grazed these plains, and in this area were fought some of the last battles between Indians and whites. Troops stationed at Fort Wallace, 25 miles east, patrolled the frontier and participated in many skirmishes with hostile warriors. US-40, Wallace County Roadside turnout, Kansas-Colorado state line
