About this map

The Red River defines the southern boundary of this landscape, carving deep meanders at Warrens Bend and Tyas Bend along the Oklahoma-Texas border. Inland from the river, the terrain rises toward the Eastman Hills, where the small settlement of Eastman and the Eastman Cem are located. The map details a transition from the agricultural river bottomlands to the residential developments surrounding Turner and Dunbar, including the suburban street networks and the Falconhead Airport.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous family and community landmarks. Small settlements like Pike and Burneyville serve as anchors for the rural road system, while several burial grounds, including Box Cem, Parker Cem, and Burneyville Cem, are documented. Significant waterways such as Walnut Bayou, Simon Cr, and Cherokee Cr drain the county, shaping the placement of early homesteads and modern property lines in this portion of Love County.
