About this map

The Sulphur River meanders along the southern border of this Northeast Texas landscape, forming the natural boundary between Red River Co and Titus Co. The river valley is defined by complex hydrological features, including Cottonwood Slough, Sanders Slough, and numerous small bodies of water such as Horseshoe Lake, Timber Lake, and Stout Lake. These features reflect a classic bottomland environment where shifting river courses have left behind distinctive oxbows and marshy depressions.

Moving north from the river, the terrain is drained by several seasonal and permanent streams, including Whiteoak Cr, Pine Br, and Cuthand Cr. Rural infrastructure is visible through a network of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 1487 and FM 909. The map also documents agricultural water management, evidenced by Blackmon Farms Reservoir Number 3 and Barnard Draw Lake, illustrating the intersection of natural drainage and modern land use in this part of the state.
