About this map

Wingate sits within a landscape defined by a traditional sectional road grid and a network of winding prairie waterways. The drainage pattern is led by Timber Cr, Goose Cr, and Grouse Cr, with the latter being flanked by the Gardners Br in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. This area of Butler County shows a clear intersection of agricultural settlement and energy extraction, visible in the proximity of family-named cemeteries to industrial operations.

Evidence of the local oil economy is found at the Grouse Creek Oil Field and the Box Oil Field, both positioned near the central north-south axis of the map. Genealogists will find interest in the Timber Creek Cem and Mount Vernon Cem, which serve as anchors for the rural community. The terrain is further dissected by smaller tributaries like Upper Dutch Cr and Lower Dutch Cr, while the road system includes distinctive local identifiers such as SE Munson Hill Rd and SE Satchell Creek Rd.
