About this map

The Salt Fork Arkansas River carves a winding path across this northern Oklahoma landscape, defining the northern border of Barr township. The river's braided channels and the prominent Rock Island illustrate the dynamic hydrology of the region before extensive modern channelization. Along the water, Hixson Bridge provides a key crossing point, while the Biby Landing Strip suggests the early importance of private aviation in managing these rural agricultural tracts.

Further south, the grid of section lines and field boundaries is anchored by community landmarks such as Riverdale Community Hall and the small settlement at Four Corners. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds including Friends Cem and Mt Zion Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the families who farmed the land between Coldwater Creek and Sand Creek during the late 1960s.
