1950 Map of De Kalb NW

About this map

The Red River creates a complex, winding boundary between Texas and Oklahoma in this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape defined by dramatic oxbow lakes and abandoned river channels. Ancient meanders are preserved as distinct features like 1908 Cut-off Lake and the Whitaker Bend Cut-off, illustrating the volatile nature of the river's path over time. These water features sit adjacent to the dense timber of the Ouachita National Forest which stretches across the northern portion of the quadrangle.
