About this map

The Walnut River meanders southward through the heart of Cowley County, anchoring a landscape where academic life and petroleum extraction coexist. The city of Winfield dominates the northwestern corner of the sheet, centered around the campus of Southwestern Coll and a grid of historic residential avenues like Warren Ave and Central Ave. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into a productive resource landscape, defined by active energy operations at the Winfield Oil Field and the Seacat Oil Field.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including Saint Mary's Cem and the remote Liberty Cem. The natural geography is marked by distinct features like the Cup and Saucer Hills and Baugh Canyon, while the river's path is punctuated by the historic McCollum Ford. This survey captures the county seat's modern layout while preserving the names of the valleys and creek crossings that have shaped the region for generations.
