1951 Map of De Kalb NW

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Red River snakes through this 1951 survey, defining the volatile boundary between Oklahoma and Texas. The shifting hydrology of the river is evident in the numerous oxbow lakes and abandoned channels, such as Whitaker Bend Cut-off and the 1908 Cut-off. These geological changes forced a complex border arrangement where state lines no longer follow the active riverbed, leaving pockets of land isolated by the water's movement.
