1955 Map of Zyba

About this map

The Ninnescah River meanders across this mid-century landscape, defining the transition from Ohio and Illinois townships down into London and Seventy Six. This area of southern Kansas is marked by a network of drainage creeks, including Turtle Creek and Silver Creek, which feed into the main river channel. The small settlement of Zyba sits at a junction of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad and a local levee system, serving as a quiet focal point for the surrounding agricultural community.
