1957 Map of Bixby

About this map

The Arkansas River serves as the dominant geographic anchor for this mid-century Oklahoma landscape, constrained by a prominent levee system that protects the growing settlement of Bixby. The river plain is a busy industrial corridor where the Texas and Pacific railroad tracks run parallel to the water, supporting local commerce. Beyond the town center, the land transitions into a complex network of oil wells, oil tanks, and pipelines, particularly concentrated south of Skyline Park.
