2019 Map of Denison Dam

About this map

Denison serves as the focal point for this borderland geography where the Red River divides Texas and Oklahoma. The landscape is dominated by the massive Denison Dam, which holds back the waters of Lake Texoma and reshapes the hydrologic character of the region. This modern survey illustrates the complex transportation infrastructure surrounding the river crossing, including the heavy rail presence at Warner Junction and Ray. While the urban grid of northern Grayson County is prominent, the map also identifies critical local history landmarks, including the sprawling grounds of Oakwood Cem and Fairview Cem. To the north in Oklahoma, smaller settlements like Colbert and Cartwright maintain their proximity to the water, while several family and memorial cemeteries like Yarbrough Cem and Garden of Memory Cem provide essential data points for local genealogists tracing the evolution of these border communities.
