2009 Map of Shidler

About this map

Webb City and Shidler anchor this portion of the Osage County prairie, where the landscape is defined by the legacy of the regional petroleum industry. Much of the western terrain is occupied by the Burbank Oil Field, evidenced by a dense, grid-like network of access roads such as Denoya Rd and Sarge Rd. This industrial footprint is interspersed with small aviation hubs, including Cooper Ranch Airport in the northwest and Van Camp Airport just outside Shidler, reflecting the specialized transportation needs of ranching and oil operations. The natural drainage of the area is governed by several winding waterways, most notably Salt Creek and Mud Creek, along with a series of numbered reservoirs including Oknoname 113148 Reservoir. This configuration shows a rural landscape where traditional water management and modern resource extraction coexist, connected by a strictly rectilinear system of county roads.
