This is only approximate, 12 miles west of Horton.
This relay station stood on Delaware Creek (also called Big Grasshopper or Plum Creek) about twelve miles west of Horton, Kansas, and was generally known as Kickapoo or Goteschall. Both the station and the stone Presbyterian mission, a nearby landmark, existed on the Kickapoo Indian Reservation. Noble Rising, a Kansas pioneer and surveyor, maintained the station with W. W. Letson. The relay station and mission are nonextant. http://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/poex/hrs/hrs4b.htm#5
