Kansas - Jetmore, Kiowa Chief Satanta, Made with a Tractor

Satanta
Stan Herd created this earth-sculpture of Kiowa chief Satanta on a quarter-section of land using a tractor and disc-harrow.  The portrait was produced near Jetmore, Kansas, 16 miles north of Dodge City.  Satanta, a signer of the Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty in 1867, was known as the "Orator of the Plains."

Photograph by Tim Wenzl, 1981.
