2014 Map of Winnett North

About this map

Winnett serves as the focal point for this section of Petroleum County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage and water management. The southern edge of the town is bordered by McDonald Cr, while the surrounding prairie is incised by numerous seasonal watercourses including Shale Coulee, Feldt Coulee, and Chokecherry Coulee. A significant engineering feature of the local agricultural economy is the Winnett Irrigation County Ditch, which snakes through the eastern half of the map, illustrating the historical necessity of water diversion in this semi-arid region. North of the town center, Dovetail Valentine Rd and Gavel Rd provide access to the outlying ranchlands, crossing the Box Elder Cr via the Box Elder Creek Bridge. For those researching local family history, the Winnett Cem is clearly marked at the end of Cemetery Rd, west of the main settlement.
