2018 Map of Shidler

About this map

Shidler and Webb City serve as the primary population centers in this northern Osage County landscape, where the geometry of Oklahoma’s Section Land Survey system is deeply etched into the road network. The map reveals a transition between small town grids and the surrounding cattle and oil country, notably evidenced by the presence of Whizbang Denoya Rd, a name that hints at the region’s early twentieth-century petroleum history and the legendary oil boomtowns that once thrived in this vicinity. Water management is a central theme, with several numbered reservoirs such as 113148 Reservoir and 13149 Reservoir dotting the terrain. Drainage follows the winding paths of Salt Creek and its many tributaries like Haines Cr and Mud Cr, which cut through the open country. This survey also documents smaller locales like Lyman and Lep, alongside a network of county routes including Sarge Creek Rd and Co Rd 4402.
