Zonia Baber

American geologist, geographer, researcher and university teacher

Zonia Baber travelled at a period when the map still had blanks on it, and filled some of them.

The record lists Zonia Baber as American geologist, geographer, researcher and university teacher.

Zonia Baber was born at Kansas Township in 1862. Her recorded nationality is United States.

Nineteenth-century exploration turned inland - Africa, Asia and Australia - and was entangled from the start with empire, missions and the geographical societies that funded it.

She is recorded as geographer and geologist.

The record of exploration is also a record of the people already living in the places reached.

Zonia Baber died in 1956, aged 94. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
