About this map

The small settlement of Bellvue and the surrounding Creek County landscape are defined by the complex water systems of the southern plains. In the early 1970s, the terrain shows a transition toward managed water resources, evidenced by multiple water control structures including the Spillway Elev 864 and the prominent Lake Heyburn at elevation 762. These features intersect with the natural drainage of Polecat Creek and Mosquito Creek, shaping the rural character of the area.

Industrial activity is scattered throughout the township boundaries, particularly in the northern sections where Oil Wells and a defined Oil Field appear among the timbered hills. For those tracing family history, the Harlinsville Cem serves as a vital anchor point near the confluence of Catfish Creek and Little Catfish Creek. The map also details distinctive local topography like Hoot Owl Hollow, situated between the sections of Creek and Shannon.
