2010 Map of Heyburn Reservoir

About this map

Heyburn Lake and the structural engineering of the Heyburn Dam define the geography of this Creek County landscape. The impoundment of Polecat Creek created a significant water body that dictates local transit and land use, surrounded by a network of rural routes such as Old Hwy 66 and W 141st St S. The settlement of Heyburn and the nearby Worman Junction anchor the eastern side of the reservoir, while the southern reaches are marked by the open expanse of Wildhorse Prairie. Genealogists and local historians can find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including Sunrise Cemetery, Provens Cemetery, and Fortyfour Cemetery. The area’s aviation history is represented by Neversweat Airport, located near the winding course of Neuersweat Creek.
