After turning south on KS-25, you can see forever in every direction. The gently sloping land was parceled out into dry, dusty fields full of dead cornstalks, and others where alfalfa was coming up thick and green. Russell Springs used to be the county seat until 1963, when it moved to Oakley, leaving the old courthouse to become the Butterfield Trail Museum. There's not much left in town, except some houses, a consolidated school that looks unused, and a pretty little Episcopal chapel.
