About this map

The Red River defines the winding border between Oklahoma and Texas, cutting through a landscape of creek-fed bottomlands and agricultural plateaus. On the Oklahoma side, the settlements of Colbert, Achille, and Hendrix are linked by a grid of rural routes such as Scarecrow Rd and River Rd. The northern reach of Denison appears just across the Texas line, situated south of the river bluffs.

Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial grounds, including Colbert Cem, Rosewood Cem, and Bloomfield Cem, which are scattered throughout the Bryan County countryside. Transportation history is evidenced by the Old RR Grade running near the river, a remnant of former rail corridors that once facilitated trade between the two states. The local topography is further defined by several tributaries, notably Island Bayou and Webb Cr, which flow through the fertile plains towards the main river channel.
