Teter Rock, Stone monument near Teterville, US.
A 16-foot stone slab stands on a hilltop in Greenwood County, marking the location where an original rock pile once guided settlers.
James Teter created the initial rock formation in the 1870s to help homesteaders locate the Cottonwood River during their westward journey.
The monument represents the connection between early Kansas settlers and the land development that brought oil exploration to Greenwood County.
Visitors can reach Teter Rock by traveling 0.9 miles south of Teterhill Road on a rural path through private property.
The stone structure sits at an elevation of 1,608 feet, offering views across the Kansas plains where the former oil town of Teterville once existed.
