About this map

The Red River defines the southern boundary of this Oklahoma-Texas border region, carving dramatic horseshoe curves at Tyas Bend and Warrens Bend. This landscape transitions from the river bottomlands up through the rolling terrain of Burney, where the settlement of Burneyville serves as a central point of interest. The area is marked by a mix of agricultural utility and recreational development, evidenced by the Turner Lodge, an adjacent Golf Course, and a landing strip situated near the winding course of Walnut Bayou.

Smaller community centers and family landmarks provide significant detail for genealogical research, including the locales of Eastman, Pike, and Dunbar. Numerous Oil Wells pepper the northern reaches near Hickory and Simon Creek, indicating the region's mid-century petroleum activity. Rural life is further documented through the presence of the Parker Cem and Box Cem, which anchor the history of the local inhabitants within this riverine landscape.
