2010 Map of Zyba

About this map

Ninnescah River meanders across this rural section of south-central Kansas, defining the hydrologic character of a landscape marked by small agricultural settlements and energy extraction. The small community of Zyba serves as a central point in a grid of section roads, including N Zyba Rd and Finney Rd. The map reveals a history of local industry through the presence of the Zyba Oil Field, Peck Oil Field, and Anson Oil Field, indicating the subsurface resources that have long supported the regional economy. Several local burial grounds, such as Noel Cemetery, Porter Cemetery, Worden Cemetery, and Greencastle Cemetery, are scattered throughout the quadrangle, providing critical touchpoints for genealogical research and documenting the early settlement patterns of the township. The drainage network is dense, with Elm Creek and Spring Creek cutting through the prairie toward the larger river valley.
