About this map

The Sulphur River dominates this mid-1960s landscape at the junction of Bowie, Red River, Morris, and Cass counties. The river valley is a complex network of wetlands and oxbows, featuring Greenhaw Lake, Twin Lakes, and Muddy Clark Slough. To the south, the rising waters of Lake Texarkana have begun to reshape the terrain, with areas marked for controlled inundation near Willow Bluff and Reddon Lake.

Settlement is concentrated around Dalby Springs and the village of Dalby, where local landmarks like County Line Ch and the Roberts Cem serve as focal points for family history. The transition from older infrastructure to modern development is visible in the presence of an Old RR Grade alongside a new highway marked as Under Construction. This survey captures the rural character of Northeast Texas just as major hydraulic projects were permanently altering the local topography and drainage patterns.
