Amelia Earhart Earthwork

The earthwork doesn't look as though it's had much care in the last few years. It's not really worth the drive out of town. [Andrea DeHart, 07/08/2006]

Amelia Earhart-shaped Earthwork

South of Atchison is a huge tribute to native daughter Amelia Earhart. It's a dirt and plant profile. I assume it looks much better from the air than it does from the ground. [Craig S. Thom, 02/10/2002]
