I drove one afternoon to pick up our host from his haying job, and my Appalachian roots had me gritting my teeth as I drove up to 40 or 45 mph on the dirt roads. He had me drive home, and told me I could really be driving 60. I just couldn't do it -- they're DIRT roads, after all!
Two things I'd be cautious of: first, is there a creek or river that disrupts the back road / county road network. Second, Alexander, KS is only a town on AC maps. Don't count on anything but water there!
