About this map

The Red River serves as the primary geographic and political divide on this survey, marking the border between Oklahoma and Texas. To the north, the town of Davidson is positioned as a rail hub along the St Louis - San Francisco Railroad, while to the south, the Texas landscape is defined by the convergence of the Pease River and the Fort Worth and Denver line.

Settlement patterns in the late 1950s follow the transit corridors, with small communities such as Oklaunion, Harrold, and Elliott dotting the plains. Local landmarks including Immanuel Ch and the industrial site at Sharp Gin provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family ties to Wilbarger or Tillman counties. The network of creeks, such as Boggy Creek and China Creek, illustrates the drainage system of this prairie environment before modern agricultural shifts altered many of these smaller watercourses.
