About this map

The northern reaches of Tulsa County are anchored by Collinsville and Skiatook, where the suburban fringe of the metropolitan area meets the agricultural and riverine landscape of northeastern Oklahoma. The drainage of Bird Creek and its various tributaries, including Charley Cr and Delaware Cr, dictates the physical layout of the territory, culminating in the prominent Horseshoe Bend south of Skiatook. This 2019 survey documents a landscape heavily influenced by the section line road grid, with major thoroughfares like the Cherokee Expy and E 126th St N providing modern connectivity across old township lines.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the concentration of family and memorial burial sites scattered throughout the quadrangle. From the large Green Acres Memorial Cem to smaller sites like Chisholm Cem, Skybuck Cem, and Lord Cem, these landmarks preserve the heritage of earlier settlement eras. The map also traces the transition of smaller communities like Sperry as they integrate into the growing regional infrastructure centered around the Airman Acres Airport.
