This is Paradise, KS. Population 45.
As fate would have it, I happened to meet Betty Mead, who was near where I was shooting, as was her son, Kim, who gave me some history. I think they may have been related to one of the founders. "In 1859, a hunting party explored the area, including a small tributary of the Saline River which led them to a site abundant in water, timber, and bison. One of the hunters, "James R. Mead", described the site as paradise, and the tributary subsequently became known as Paradise Creek." - (Wikipedia)
