About this map

Heyburn Lake serves as the central focal point of this Creek County landscape, where the waters of Polecat Creek and Turkey Cr are impounded within the township of Heyburn. The map illustrates a transitional rural area defined by its water management and early transportation corridors. The settlement of Kellyville sits at the eastern edge, connected to the surrounding countryside by historical routes including Old Hwy 66.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several well-placed landmarks, such as Sunrise Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and Provens Cem, situated among the drainage basins of Rowland Creek and Skull Cr. The presence of Neversweat Airport and the open terrain of Wildhorse Prairie suggest a landscape used for both utility and small-scale aviation. The grid of county roads, such as W 181st ST S, provides a framework for identifying old family home sites and farmsteads near the numerous unnamed reservoirs scattered across the quadrangle.
