About this map

The Red River defines the border between Red River County, Texas, and McCurtain County, Oklahoma, in this modern topographic survey. The landscape is dominated by the river's meandering path and the remnants of its former channels, notably seen at the Lick-Skillet Cut-Off and surrounding oxbow features like Lick-Skillet Lake, Twin Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. These riparian wetlands contrast with the upland areas where the small settlements of Acworth and Greenwood are situated along a network of farm roads and county routes such as FM 1159 and Co RD 3120.

Local history is preserved in landmarks such as Bachman Cem, located near the northern banks of Collier Cr. The map illustrates a rural Texas-Oklahoma borderland characterized by numerous drainages, including Deadman Br, Sulpher Springs Cr, and Greenwood Br, which feed into the river valley. The presence of several reservoirs, such as the Waterfall-Gilford Creeks Site 1 Reservoir, indicates local water management practices within this agriculturally focused riverine environment.
