2018 Map of Blue

About this map

Blue River carves a winding path through this Bryan County landscape, anchoring a rural territory defined by the small settlements of Blue, Utica, and Albany. The map reflects a deeply rooted agrarian community where local history is preserved in small family and church burial grounds, including the Philadelphia Cem and the Old Philadelphia Cem. The terrain is marked by numerous water bodies like Fowler Lake and McGee Lake Number 1, alongside seasonal drainages such as Tuklo Cr and Bokchito Cr. A complex grid of rural roads, such as Red Bird Hollow Rd and Five Doe Rd, connects these dispersed homesteads and farms, illustrating the modern rural layout of south-central Oklahoma. The presence of multiple cemeteries near established watercourses suggests long-standing settlement patterns dating back to the area's earlier territorial history.
