About this map

Red River meanders define the border between Texas and Arkansas in this mid-century portrait of a riverine landscape. The shifting nature of the waterway is evident in features like Hurricane Bend Lake and Gano Island, while the surrounding bottomlands are threaded with bayous and creeks including Hooks Bayou and Mud Creek. This survey captures the rural character of Bowie County before more modern development, centered on small crossroads like Woodstock and Daniels Chapel.

Cultural life is anchored by local institutions such as Macedonia Ch and Almont Sch in the west, and Pleasant Hill Ch and New Zion Ch to the southeast. Genealogists may find interest in the Spring Branch Cem, located near a Historic Monument and the distinctive Spanish Bluff. The map preserves the exact alignment of parish and county boundaries as they stood following the 1948 aerial surveys and subsequent 1970s revisions.
