2009 Map of Zurich

About this map

Zurich stands as the primary settlement in this section of Rooks County, situated along a central east-west corridor. The landscape is defined by the agricultural grid of the High Plains, where the drainage of Sand Creek cuts a winding path through the geometric regularity of the section lines. Local genealogy and land use are anchored by the Zurich Cemetery, located just south of the main township. This 2009 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey illustrates the enduring rural structure of the region, where a dense network of numbered roads, including 10th Rd and EE Rd, provides access to the dispersed farmsteads that characterize this part of Kansas.
