2010 Map of Red Bird

About this map

The Verdigris River snakes through this portion of Wagoner County, defined by its sharp meander at Horseshoe Bend. The landscape is a transition between the established river valley and the modern infrastructure of the Muskogee Tpke, which cuts diagonally across the terrain. For those tracing family histories in the area, several burial grounds are scattered across the quadrangle, including Hawkins Cemetery near the river and Gar Creek Cemetery further east. The local hydrology is well-defined by tributaries like Fife Creek, Gar Creek, and Strawberry Creek. A rigid grid of rural roads, such as N 4180 Rd and E 0730 Rd, organizes the residential and agricultural plots, while the street network of a larger settlement begins to emerge near W Boston Ave and N Main St.
