2010 Map of Westplains

About this map

Westplains anchors this corner of Logan County, positioned within a landscape defined by an extensive grid of section-line roads and seasonal drainage systems. The northern reaches of the quadrangle feature the Little Hoot Oil Field, indicating the importance of energy extraction in this high plains environment during the early 21st century. The terrain is etched by several watercourses including Cedar Creek and Twomile Creek, while the meandering path of Brush Creek winds through the southwestern and central sections. This network of unpaved county roads, such as County Rd-9 and County Rd-17, provides a precise look at the rural property divisions and accessibility of the region before any major modern suburban development reached this area.
