Highest point in Iowa was a hog pen not too many years ago.

Well, that could almost be right.

In Kansas, the high point is 4039 feet above sea level on a cattle ranch. (Cf Some notable Blue Ridge mountains.... Stony Man 4,031 ft (1,229 m), Hawksbill Mountain 4,066 ft (1,239 m), Apple Orchard Mountain 4,225 ft (1,288 m) and Peaks of Otter 4,001 and 3,875 ft (1,220 and 1,181 m).

That side of the state is more alto plano and not much of a mountain unless you consider walking from my side at about 1050 " above sea level, to the pictured spot. Picture of the high point is below. Its not that far from the Colorado border, perhaps just several sections of land. (I have not visited that side of Kansas.) Note that they fly the flag!
