Coronado Heights
Coronado Heights, near Lindsborg, Kansas, is alleged to be near the place where Coronado gave up his search for the seven cities of gold and turned around to return to Mexico.
Coronado Heights is one of a chain of seven sandstone bluffs in the Dakota Formation and rises approximately 300 feet. (Which doesn't seem like much but out in the flat portion of the States seems much higher.)
In 1915, a professor at Bethany College in Lindsborg found chain mail from Spanish armor at an excavation site a few miles southwest of the hill, and a colleague promoted the name of Coronado Heights for the hill.
This stone shelter resembling a castle was built on top of the hill in 1936 as a project of the Works Progress Administration.
