Latimer, KS

united states

Latimer is a tiny farming community in Kansas's Flint Hills, accessible via Highway 56 about 20 miles west of Council Grove. Most traffic uses this east-west route to connect with larger towns for services and commerce. The surrounding tallgrass prairie and limestone outcroppings create classic Flint Hills scenery. The local post office operates from a modest building that has anchored this rural community for decades.
