K-179 is an 11.588-mile-long (18.649 km) state highway in Harper County, Kansas. It runs from Oklahoma State Highway 132 (SH-132) the Oklahoma state line north to the city of Anthony, where it ends at K-44. The route was designated around 1956, and is not part of the National Highway System.
A state highway, state road, or state route is usually a road that is either numbered or maintained by a sub-national state or province. A road numbered by a state or province falls below numbered national highways in the hierarchy. Roads maintained by a state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other.
Harper County is a county located in the U.S. state of Kansas. As of the 2010 census, the county population was 6,034. Its county seat and most populous city is Anthony. The county was named for Sergeant Marion Harper of the 2nd Kansas Cavalry, who died of wounds suffered near Waldron, Arkansas, in December 1863.

Just north of Manchester, Oklahoma, K-179 begins running west along the Oklahoma state line as a continuation of SH-132. The route then turns due north and continues through flat farm fields. A series of curves take the highway slightly to the northeast before it enters the city of Anthony, where it becomes known as Jennings Avenue. Just more than 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north of the Anthony city limits, K-179 meets its northern terminus at an intersection with K-44, also known as Main Street. [3]

K-179 is maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). Every year, KDOT measures traffic on each of its state highways in terms of average annual daily traffic (AADT). In 2012, K-179 was found to have AADT counts of 303 on the first five miles (8.0 km) of the route and 433 just south of Anthony, the route's lowest and highest counts, respectively. [1] The highway is not a part of the United States National Highway System. [4]

The National Highway System (NHS) is a network of strategic highways within the United States, including the Interstate Highway System and other roads serving major airports, ports, rail or truck terminals, railway stations, pipeline terminals and other strategic transport facilities. Altogether, it constitutes the largest highway system in the world.
The road that would become K-179 first appeared on the 1936 state highway map as a paved county road connection. [5] [6] This roadway was designated as K-179 around 1956. [2] [7] The routing of the highway has not been modified since its designation.
