===Topography=== The city developed on both sides of the prominent [[Arkansas River]], which flows in a wide, sandy-bottomed channel. Its flow through Tulsa is controlled by reservoirs at [[Keystone Lake]], and a low-water dam was built at [[Zink Lake]] in downtown Tulsa to maintain a full channel at all times. This dam deteriorated and eventually failed, and was repaired and reopened in 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cdm15020.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p16063coll1/id/1681|title=Low-water dam lake to honor Zinks|website=Cdm15020.contentdm.oclo.org|access-date=May 8, 2021|archive-date=October 29, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141029183158/http://cdm15020.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p16063coll1/id/1681|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |first=Gretchen |last=Collins |title=River Parks Proves Practical Need for Visionary Ideas |work=Urban Tulsa Weekly |url=http://archives.urbantulsa.com/article.asp?id=11 |access-date=April 30, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928063005/http://archives.urbantulsa.com/article.asp?id=11 |archive-date=September 28, 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cityoftulsa.org/zink|title=Zink Lake and Zinc Dam|access-date=September 7, 2024}}</ref> Heavily wooded and with abundant parks and water areas, the city has several prominent hills, such as "Shadow Mountain" and "[[Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area|Turkey Mountain]]", which create varied terrain, especially in its southern portions. While its central and northern sections are generally flat to gently undulating, the [[Osage Hills]] extension into the northwestern part of the city further varies the landscape.
