Geography[]

The South Fork Ninnescah River originates in south-central Kansas in the High Plains. Its source lies in west-central Pratt County approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of Cullison, Kansas. From there, it flows generally east into the Wellington Lowlands. In southwestern Sedgwick County, it meets the North Fork Ninnescah River to form the Ninnescah River.[2]
