2011 Map of Bixby

About this map

The West Fork Big Blue River meanders across this rural section of Fillmore County, defining a landscape of agricultural utility and quiet settlements. In the early 21st century, the area around Bixby is characterized by a precise grid of rural routes such as Road 322 and Road B, which connect isolated farmsteads and specialized local infrastructure. Water management is central to the terrain, evidenced by the Thieszen Reservoir and Thieszen Dam in the northwest. For those researching local heritage, the Farmers Valley Cemetery stands as a permanent fixture on Farmers Valley Rd. The map also highlights the importance of local aviation in this open country, noting the Boardman Aerial Airport and Traudt Airport, while smaller drainages like School Creek and Elk Run provide the natural hydrology that supports the surrounding farmland.
