From the town of Porterville, KS head west on KS 39 to the Neosho/Bourbon county line. Turn right
(north) on York Rd 1 mile to Alabama Road. Turn left on Alabama Road 0.1 mile to first area. Alabama
Road runs along the Allen/Neosho county line. The first area, which shows a house and a barn on the
topo, only has a shed left, and the foundation of the house. The entire area is fenced, and is now a cattle
pasture. There is a sign offering $1000 reward for information about anyone Hunting, Vandalizing, or
committing Arson on the site. I didn't notice a smaller rusted out No Trespassing sign until I had gotten
the point. I hopped the gate, and went to the high ground, which is just south of the house foundation.
The second point is 3/10 mile further west on Alabama Road. This is a very small area of the contour that
barely crosses the county line. It is fenced here, with a ditch and row of Osage Oranges. Other than the
clearly man-made ditch and embankment that the Osage Oranges are planted on, the land south of the
fence is lower than the road, so I didn't hop the fence here - the first area is the high area.
