2010 Map of Cambridge NW

About this map

Wingate occupies a quiet corner of Butler County where the landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the Walnut River watershed. This early 21st-century survey reveals a rural territory organized by an exacting section-line road grid, yet the natural drainage patterns of Timber Creek, Goose Creek, and Grouse Creek frequently disrupt the symmetry of the fields. For family historians, the map identifies local landmarks such as Timber Creek Cemetery and Mount Vernon Cemetery, which serve as physical anchors for the area's agricultural community. The presence of the Grouse Creek Oil Field and Box Oil Field points to the continued significance of petroleum extraction in this region of Kansas. This transition between open pasture and industrial sites like Box Oil Field illustrates the dual nature of the local economy, where traditional land use coexists with modern energy resource management.
