2012 Map of Wall Creek

About this map

The North Tisdale Oil Field and East Tisdale Oil Field define the industrial landscape of this Johnson County region, revealing the footprints of petroleum extraction in the high plains. Situated along the corridor of Old Hwy 87, the terrain is marked by distinctive geological features such as The Wall and the sharp rise of Tisdale Mountain. Water is central to the local geography, with the S Fork Powder River carving through the western portion of the map, fed by numerous draws like Frewens Draw and Beach Draw. Isolated settlements and land holdings such as Linstead Place, Butts Ranch, and Snyder Ranch reflect the enduring ranching tradition of the area. The map also captures the transition between traditional transport routes and modern infrastructure, shown by the parallel paths of the highway and the Service Rd slicing through the northern Linstead Flats.
