About this map

The Red River and Pease River converge at the Oklahoma-Texas border, defining a landscape of riparian lowlands and agricultural plateaus in the late 1950s. On the Oklahoma side, Davidson serves as a northern anchor, while the Texas landscape to the south is marked by the busy Fort Worth and Denver (Burlington) line. This corridor connects small farming and rail outposts like Oklaunion, Elliott, and Harrold.

Evidence of the region's evolving infrastructure is found in the Old Railroad Grade and the presence of the St Louis - San Francisco Railroad. Local landmarks such as the Immanuel Ch and the settlement of Sharp Gin suggest a close-knit rural society centered around cotton processing and community worship. Further south near the bend of Turkey Creek, the small settlement of Turkey and the prominent Red Bluff terrain feature highlight the varied geography of Wilbarger County.
