2018 Map of Zyba

About this map

The Ninnescah River winds across the northern landscape of this Kansas borderland, carving a distinct valley through the agricultural grid of the Sedgwick and Sumner county line. The city of Clearwater anchors the northwestern corner, while the small community of Zyba sits further east along the river’s southern reaches. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where the land is strictly partitioned by a network of section-line roads like S 87th St W and N Maize Rd. Genealogy researchers will find several well-preserved rural burial grounds, including Noel Cem near the river, Porter Cem in the central fields, and Worden Cem to the southwest. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage system of tributaries including Spring Cr, Silver Cr, and Elm Cr, which cut through the farm plots toward the primary river channel.
