Grant County is a county located in southwest Kansas, in the Central United States. Its county seat and only city is Ulysses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 ==Introduction== Grant county is located in the High Plains region in the southwestern corner of Kansas, with its western edge being 27 miles from the Colorado state line, and its southern edge 26 miles from the Oklahoma border, as these perimeters are currently delineated. It lies between the 37th and 38th parallels, and the 101st and 102nd meridians. The elevation at Ulysses Kansas, county seat in the center of the county, is 3,050 feet above sea level.〔 The county is 24 miles square, and, generally speaking, is flat land, with the exception of the bluffs and breaks on the Cimarron River, which flows along the south edge of the county, the rolling country bordering the North Fork of the Cimarron River in the center of the county, and along Bear Creek in the northwestern corner. The streams flow eastward and carry little water under normal conditions, although rains falling to the west of the area tend to create flood conditions, as the streams have a fall of as much as eight feet to the mile in some places.〔 The overall width of the Cimarron River basin valley eroded in southern Grant County indicate in historical times past, it has been a raging river of significant proportions. The focal points of prehistory and early history of what became Grant county are the ancient spring on the Cimarron now known as Wagonbed Springs, and the trading path trod by countless natives beside it which eventually came to be called the Santa Fe Trail.〔
