2009 Map of Willowdale

About this map

Willowdale serves as the central settlement in this portion of Kingman County, established amidst an agricultural landscape defined by a network of drainage systems. The terrain is intricately etched by several named waterways, including Mead Creek, Pat Creek, and Peters Creek, which flow through the sectioned plains. This 2009 USGS survey also documents the industrial presence of the Willowdale Oil and Gas Field in the southeastern quadrant, illustrating the intersection of Kansas's rural homesteading patterns with its energy resources. The survey utilizes a strict grid of section roads, such as SW 100 St and SW 110 Ave, which organize the farmsteads and fields that characterize this region. For the local historian, the map provides a precise layout of this small community and its surrounding natural hydrology shortly after the turn of the twenty-first century.
