About this map

Heyburn Lake and its surrounding watershed dominate this modern landscape in Creek County, Oklahoma. The impoundment of Polecat Creek created a central water feature that reorganized local transport and settlement patterns, with Heyburn Lake Rd providing access to the northern shores. To the east, the settlement of Kellyville sits along the historic corridor of Old Hwy 66, while the small community of Heyburn is situated just south of the reservoir's main body.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds, including Sunrise Cem near the lake and Oak Hill Cem to the southwest. The landscape transitions from the aquatic environment of the reservoir to the open terrain of Wildhorse Prairie. Notable local landmarks like Neversweat Airport and numerous named tributaries such as Tiger Creek and Turkey Creek provide a detailed map of the modern geography of the region.
