2016 Map of Bixby

About this map

The Arkansas River winds southeastward through this Oklahoma landscape, anchoring a corridor of rapid suburban expansion between Jenks and Bixby. This 2016 survey captures the dense residential street networks and modern reservoirs that have reshaped the historical farmsteads of Tulsa and Tulsa County. While the northern reaches show the suburban sprawl of Tulsa, the southern portion of the map retains a more rural character around the community of Liberty and the heights of Applegate Hill. Local history is preserved in the location of the Bixby Cem and Duck Creek Cem, which sit alongside contemporary water management features like Skyline Lake and the 143011 Reservoir. The intricate grid of section roads and residential avenues illustrates the transition from the river-bottom lands of Posey Cr and Snake Cr to the developed residential districts of Glenpool.
