The Monument Rocks Landmark is located several miles west of the property. Monument Rocks or Chalk Pyramids are names of rock outcroppings, near US-83 in western Kansas. The 70 feet tall sedimentary formations of Niobrara Chalk were created by the erosion of a sea bed which formed during the Cretaceous Period. 80 million years ago, this land was the sea bed beneath the Western Interior Seaway which covered much of what is now North America. This limestone is quite soft and changes in the edges of the rock formations can be seen from year to year. The United States Department of the Interior designated Monument Rocks Natural Area as a National Natural Landmark in 1968.
