About this map

The small settlements of Tisdale and Eaton anchor this portion of Cowley County, representing the persistent agricultural and energy-producing character of the Kansas landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the winding path of Grouse Creek and its many tributaries like Silver Creek, Horse Creek, and Pebble Creek. These waterways dictate the local geography, with roads often following the section lines around the creek beds.

Energy extraction is a primary feature of the area, evidenced by the presence of the Werner Oil Field, Maddox North Oil Field, and Cabin Valley Oil Field. For those researching local history or genealogy, the Prairie Ridge Cemetery stands as a significant landmark along 191st Rd. The map illustrates a rural economy built on the dual pillars of ranching and oil, where the grid of county roads connects isolated farmsteads and petroleum production sites across the prairie.
