About this map

The Red River defines the southern boundary of this landscape, winding through a complex of oxbow lakes and wetlands at the Oklahoma-Texas border. Small rural communities like Bluff, Duland, and Gay are connected by a grid of section-line roads, such as E 2120 Rd, reflecting the agricultural heritage of Choctaw County. Significant tributaries, including Muddy Boggy Creek and Crooked Creek, feed into the river basin, shaping the terrain around clusters of local history such as Bluff Cemetery.

South of the river in Texas, the terrain transitions toward the settlement of Razor and Garretts Bluff. This area is characterized by scattered water bodies like Palmer Lake, Colbert Lake, and Emerson Lake, which occupy the low-lying floodplains. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of the Reid Cemetery and New Macedonia Cemetery, which provide geographical anchors for families from this river-valley region.
