2012 Map of Bell City

About this map

Bell City serves as the focal point of this lowland landscape, where the flat alluvial plains are punctuated by an archipelago of distinct rises. These upland features, including Lost Hill, Cow Hill, and Bird Hill, provide a stark contrast to the surrounding drainage networks of Upper Whitewater Creek and Little River. The settlement pattern follows these elevations and established corridors, with small communities like Tillman, Messler, and Perkins connected by a grid of county roads. The importance of local genealogy is evident in the numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the area, such as Troph Cemetery, Plainview Cemetery, and Darus Cemetery. Aviation infrastructure is also present with Georger Farms Airport and E A A Chapter 453 Airport serving the region's agricultural needs. This 2012 documentation illustrates a highly managed water system featuring Ash Slough, Mill Slough, and the Andersons Whippoorwill Farm Lake Dam.
