About this map

Lake Texoma dominates the northern reaches of this north Texas landscape, where the waters of the Sycamore Creek and Rock Cr meet the southern shore. The map details a rural network of small communities and homesteads, including Dexter, Red Branch, and Sandusky, connected by a web of county roads and farm-to-market routes. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Shiloh Cem, Mt Zion Cem, and Bacon Cem.

Industrial activity is noted at the Ranbalm Oil Field in the southern portion of the quadrangle, reflecting the region's petroleum history. To the north, the label for Stillhouse Ferry serves as a reminder of early crossing points on the Red River before the reservoir's expansion. The terrain is marked by numerous small tributaries like N Br Brushy Cr and Briar Cr that feed into the larger water system.
