About this map

Oklahoma City's northern expansion is recorded here, showing a landscape defined by residential development meeting agricultural roots. The map is marked by several historical burial grounds, including Christner Cem and Whisler Cem, providing valuable reference points for genealogists. The water systems of Bloody Rush Cr, Deer Cr, and Chisholm Cr dictate the layout of modern subdivisions and local landmarks like Johnson Lake.

Private aviation and ranching legacies are evident through the presence of the 5B Ranch Airport and J-M Ranch Lake. The naming of modern thoroughfares often reflects the underlying geography, seen in labels like Highlander Ridge Dr and Himalaya Rdg. This 2012 survey captures a specific moment of transition as legacy ranch lands are subdivided into neighborhood networks while maintaining distinct water features and small cemeteries.
