1971 Map of Bellvue

About this map

Lake Heyburn dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, its waters reaching into the winding drainages of Mosquito Creek and Whiskey Branch. The area represents a transition between the elevated uplands of the Olive and Hazelip districts and the river valleys to the south. An extensive network of oil fields and scattered oil wells punctuates the terrain, particularly around the headwaters of Dog Creek and Polecat Creek, illustrating the region's mid-century petroleum economy.
