There are two VFR arrival points being used at Tulsa Riverside Airport (KRVS) in Oklahoma called “Turnpike Split” and “Cross Creek Warehouse.” Neither of these arrival points are charted and neither are readily located by any normal level of flight planning before being directed to one of them by ATC. The only place I have found written reference to them is buried three pages deep on the airport association website.
