About this map

Sunshine Hill Oil Field defines much of the industrial character in this part of Wichita County, a landscape where energy extraction and prairie ranching intersect. The settlement of Sunshine Hill sits at the heart of this activity, surrounded by a network of ranch roads and loops such as McClure Loop and Barwise Rd. To the west, Floral Mound provides a distinct geographical landmark amidst the drainages of Long Cr and Cole Cr.

The southern portion of the area is dominated by the waters of the N Fork Buffalo Cr Reservoir, fed by the meandering N Fork Buffalo Cr. These waterways, including the uniquely named Tenth Cavalry Cr, reflect the historical military and ranching heritage of North Texas. The road network, including State Loop 477 and several routes named for local families like Brockreide Rd and Obenhaus Rd, illustrates the persistent rural infrastructure of the early 21st century.
