2010 Map of Buzzard Roost Knob

About this map

Buzzard Roost Knob and the Belknap Hills anchor this high-elevation pocket of Montague County, characterized by a complex network of creeks and legacy road systems. The landscape is defined by its drainage basins, where the headwaters of East Belknap Creek, Victoria Creek, and Polecat Creek carve through the terrain. The influence of mid-century petroleum development is evident at the Hildreth Oil Field, while the area's agricultural and educational history is preserved in the names of thoroughfares like Indian School Rd, Eureka School Rd, and Woodland School Rd. Toward the north, Hinds Clark Lake and its associated Hinds Clark Lake Dam provide a rare significant water body in this upland environment. The presence of Oak Hill Cemetery and prominent summits like Queens Peak and Colt Mountain offer fixed points for genealogical and topographic research.
