1951 Map of Daniels Chapel

About this map

The Red River creates a meandering border between Texas and Arkansas on this 1951 survey, defining a landscape of active watercourses and shifting landmasses. The river's serpentine path is marked by features like Gano Island and Paul Moore Island, where an indefinite boundary reflects the naturally changing channel. On the Texas side, the settlement of Daniels Chapel and the community at Woodstock anchor a rural interior drained by Mud Creek and Daniels Creek. This area is particularly rich in genealogy markers, featuring several country churches including Pleasant Hill Ch and New Zion Ch. The presence of Lewis Ferry across the Red River highlights the era's reliance on river crossings for regional transit. In the north, the small settlement of Almont is documented with its local school, Almont Sch, and the nearby Macedonia Ch, providing a detailed look at the social centers of this river-valley community.
