About this map

Belfast sits at the heart of this landscape where the boundaries of Saline and Grant counties meet, documented during a mid-1960s survey with updates reflecting early 1980s changes. The community is anchored by local landmarks such as Mars Hill Ch and Palestine Ch, which served the rural population gathered around the crossroads and creek bottoms. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Hurricane Creek and Bazley Creek, alongside smaller drainages like Skullbone Creek and Little Lost Creek.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible through numerous Gravel Pits and a significant Pipeline cutting across the terrain. For genealogists, several burial grounds like Crossroads Cem and Corinth Cem offer precise locations for family history research. This map captures the transition between traditional rural settlement patterns and the industrial infrastructure of the late 20th century, including the development of Lake Kay.
