About this map

The Red River snakes through this borderland region between Texas and Arkansas, creating a complex landscape of oxbows and riparian wetlands. The river's winding course is mirrored by several significant water bodies including Roseborough Lake, Old River Lake, and Scott Lake, which indicate the shifting nature of the river channel over time. Small settlements like Pine Prairie and Barkman anchor the rural landscape, connected by a network of farm roads such as FM-2301 and FM-2253.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of Saint Lukes Cemetery and Clear Lake Cemetery, as well as the naming of smaller drainage features like Barkman Creek and Bull Creek. The presence of Wamba and Red Bank further details the scattered communities that rely on the fertile but flood-prone lands along the river. The map also documents several numbered irrigation or access features such as Little River 32 and Little River 23, reflecting the region's managed water resources.
