Table Rock.—This natural formation, situated on Table Rock creek, Lincoln county, originally consisted of two columns of stone surmounted by a cap. Originally the stone was about 5 feet high and overlooked the surrounding country. The late B. F. Mudge of Manhattan brought the curiosity to the attention of the public in an article on the geology of Kansas, which was published in the report of the state board of agriculture for 1877-78, in which a photograph of the rock was reproduced. It is said that the rock was inscribed with the names of the members of one of Fremont's parties which camped here during one of his expeditions. The rock was partially, if not wholly, destroyed a few years since by parties who failed to appreciate its value.
