2016 Map of Daniels Chapel

About this map

Daniels Chapel and its surrounding rural landscapes are captured here along the shifting borders of Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. This survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the Red River basin, where the river's winding path creates distinct landforms like Gano Island and Paul Moore Island. The terrain is marked by numerous oxbow lakes and bayous, including Hurricane Bend Lake and Hooks Bayou, which define the low-lying wetlands. For genealogists and local researchers, the map provides precise locations for the Spring Branch Cem and Hughes Cem, alongside the namesake Daniels Chapel church and its namesake road. The presence of Spanish Bluff on the riverbank serves as a notable landmark in this river-bottom environment, where small creeks such as Mud Cr and Meade Cr drain the timbered and agricultural plots of Bowie County.
