Big Basin Prairie Preserve and St. Jacob's Well

Ashland, KS

A broad natural sink and a smaller water-filled sinkhole known as St. Jacob's Well interrupt the prairie south of Dodge City. Local folklore and the unusual karst terrain make the preserve more than a normal scenic stop, but road and weather conditions can affect access.

Filed under roadside oddities: giant objects, odd monuments and things built for no clear reason.
