2012 Map of Bixby

About this map

The Arkansas River winds through the northern portion of this 2012 survey, defining the landscape between the growing communities of Jenks and Bixby. This suburban corridor south of Tulsa shows a transition from structured street grids to the open, creek-fed terrain near Applegate Hill. Local history and genealogy are anchored by established sites like Bixby Cem and Duck Creek Cem, which sit amidst a network of expanding residential roads and historical watercourses including Posey Cr and Duck Creek. The mapping reveals how modern development has integrated with the natural drainage patterns of the river valley, maintaining distinct settlement clusters while infilling the spaces between them with named avenues and streets. This record is particularly valuable for tracing the transformation of the Oklahoma landscape as it evolved from rural farmland into a connected metropolitan extension.
