2011 Map of Sunshine Hill

About this map

Sunshine Hill Oil Field defines much of the industrial character in this portion of Wichita County, indicating the long-standing importance of petroleum extraction to the local economy. The settlement of Sunshine Hill sits near the center of the sheet, while Floral Mound provides a second named locus for rural community life. The landscape is defined by a dendritic network of drainage systems, most notably North Fork Buffalo Creek and the curiously named Tenth Cavalry Creek, which suggest the historical paths of water and military movement through the North Texas plains. A grid of rural roads, such as Fowlkes Station Rd and Midway Church Rd, connects these remote outposts and historical creek crossings, offering a detailed look at the property divisions and infrastructure of the region during the early twenty-first century.
