2010 Map of El Dorado SW

About this map

Pierce Oil Field and the El Dorado Oil Field dominate the landscape of this Butler County region, illustrating the enduring industrial legacy of the Kansas plains. The map centers on the small settlements of Midian and Oil Hill, communities historically shaped by the petroleum sector, while the larger town of El Dorado occupies the eastern edge. The Walnut River and Sutton Creek cut through the gridded road network, providing natural drainage for the surrounding oil-producing lands. Cultural landmarks such as Sunset Lawns Cemetery and Walnut Valley Memorial Park are located near the population centers, while the western reaches include the town of Towanda. This survey captures the transition from residential hubs to wide-open extraction fields, connected by a network of rural routes like NW Purity Springs Rd and NW Ohio Street Rd.
