2010 Map of Clarksville

About this map

Clarksville serves as the focal point of this Red River County survey, where the grid of the town site meets the expansive agricultural landscape of northeast Texas. The map illustrates a region defined by its water management and scattered rural communities, including Mabry, Sherry, and Aikin Grove. A notable system of reservoirs, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 12 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir, highlights the 20th-century emphasis on flood control and irrigation across the drainage basins of Boggy Creek and Langford Creek. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, from the New Shamrock Cemetery in the northwest to Pleasant Hill Cemetery further south. The Clarksville-Red River County Airport and the Red River Country Club Dam reflect the mid-century infrastructure supporting the local economy and social life.
