Mount Sunflower was designated as Kansas’s highest point by the United States Geological Survey in 1961. In the late 1970s Ed Harold decided to commemorate this site, homesteaded by his grandparents in 1906. The most famous attraction at the site is the sunflower sculpture made from railroad spikes that are welded together. [citation needed]
The bottom of a small unnamed crater within Antoniadi crater was measured by the laser altimeter (LALT) instrument on board the Japanese Selenological and Engineering Explorer satellite to be the lowest point on the moon, [1] at Lunar latitude 70.43° S, longitude 187.42° E. [3] The point is 9.178 km below the average lunar geoid.
The highest point in Kansas, Mount Sunflower (4,039 feet (1,231 m)), is located in the High Plains physiographic region. The tectonic uplift of the Rocky Mountains during the Cenozoic resulted in erosion and deposition of vast quantities of non-marine sediments eastward across the High Plains.

In comparison, the difference between Earth's highest and lowest points (Mount Everest and the Mariana Trench) is only 19.7 km. Combined with the planets' different radii, this means Mars is nearly three times "rougher" than Earth.
c. 1990 — The Clementine topographic data use 1,737,400 meters as the baseline, and show a range of about 18,100 meters from lowest to highest point on the Moon. This is not a list of the highest places on the Moon, meaning those farthest from the CoM. Rather, it is a list of peaks at various heights relative to the relevant datum.
