2016 Map of Sperry

About this map

Bird Creek and its many tributaries, including Charley Cr and Delaware Cr, define the drainage patterns of this northern Oklahoma landscape as suburban growth from Tulsa and Owasso moves into the rural hinterlands. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Skybuck Cem, Chisholm Cem, and Lord Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement history of the region. Transportation corridors like the Cherokee Expy and N Yale Ave facilitate the expansion of Turley and Sperry, while the meandering course of the creek creates distinctive landforms like Horseshoe Bend. Aviation history is present at Airman Acres Airport, providing a window into the region's private flight infrastructure during the mid-2010s. This survey is particularly useful for genealogists tracking family names through the numerous smaller cemeteries scattered between Skiatook and Collinsville.
