About this map

The Red River marks the boundary between Oklahoma and Texas on this 2010 survey, anchoring a landscape shaped by water management and rural settlement. In Bryan County, Oklahoma, the town of Achille sits at the junction of e2190 RD and N 3725, while the small community of Hendrix lies just north of the river bend. The terrain is crisscrossed by several vital waterways, including Sandy Creek, Webb Creek, and Rock Creek, many of which are controlled by structures like the McCarley Lake Dam and Kemp Lake Dam.

Family and local history are preserved in the numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the quadrangle, such as Colbert Cemetery, Rosewood Cemetery, and Bloomfield Cemetery. To the south, in Grayson County, Texas, the settlement at Carpenters Bluff overlooks the river. Notable historical routes are marked on the Texas side, including Immigrant Trl and Butterfield Rd, reflecting the long-standing importance of this river crossing for north-south travel and migration.
