About this map

Woodruff sits near the northern edge of the Phillips County plains, serving as the primary anchor for this rural landscape where a grid of section-line roads like W 800 RD and W Hunter RD defines the territory. The community is supported by the nearby Woodruff Cemetery, while the surrounding terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems, most notably Prairie Dog Creek and its many tributaries, including Jack Creek and Battle Creek. These waterways create a winding, natural contrast to the rigid geometry of the agricultural road system.

Energy extraction plays a visible role in the local economy, evidenced by the Huffstutter Oil Field located to the southeast. The map reveals the intricate water network of the High Plains, where names like Starvation Creek, Boughton Creek, and Plotner Creek trace the movement of water across this high-altitude prairie. This survey captures the intersection of traditional land use and modern resource management in the early twenty-first century.
