About this map

The Red River defines the southern boundary of this landscape, separating Choctaw County, Oklahoma from Lamar County, Texas. The confluence of several significant waterways occurs here, with Muddy Boggy Creek and its many tributaries, such as Bokchito Creek and Crooked Cr, draining southward toward the main river channel. The topography is marked by the prominent Garretts Bluff overlooking the river valley, while the inland areas feature numerous small wetlands and oxbow formations like Palmer Lake and Dead Man Br.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the small settlement of Razor in the southeastern corner, supported by several burial sites including Bluff Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Haynes Cem. The map illustrates a transition from the dissected uplands of the north to the broad, fertile alluvial plains of the river bottomlands. This network of rural roads, including Razor Rd and various section-line roads, provides a detailed look at the modern land divisions and rural homesteads throughout the region.
