About this map

The Red River defines the borderlands of this region, shaping a landscape of dramatic bends and oxbow remnants. The hydrological history of the river is etched into the terrain through features like the Whitaker Bend Cut Off and Harris Bend Cut Off, alongside uniquely named water bodies such as Long Log Lake and the Nineteen Hundred 1908 and Cut-Eight Cut Off Off. These geographical markers point to a dynamic river system that has shifted over decades, leaving behind isolated sloughs and fertile bottomlands.

Settlement is concentrated around small hubs like Goodlake and Beaverdam, connected by a network of county roads. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Harris Cem and Jim Jones Hill, which stand above the various drainages including Push Cr, N Mill Cr, and Tanyard Cr. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns in this corner of Oklahoma and Texas during the early 21st century.
