2022 Map of Zyba

About this map

The Ninnescah River winds across the landscape at the boundary of Sedgwick Co and Sumner Co, defining a region shaped by prairie waterways and a systematic road grid. Centered on the small community of Zyba, the map captures a rural Kansas environment where topography is dictated by the slow erosion of drainage systems like Spring Cr and Elm Cr. For family historians, several small burial grounds are preserved in the survey, including Noel Cem in the north and Porter Cem near the center of the quadrangle. The northwest corner touches the outskirts of Clearwater, while the rest of the sheet is dominated by a mesh of section-line roads such as N West Rd and W 119th St S, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the modern Kansas countryside.
