About this map

Pecan Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including White Oak Bayou and Campground Bayou, define the drainage patterns of this rural Red River County landscape. Small crossroads communities and family-named settlements like Dimple, Vandalia, and Cherry serve as focal points for local residents. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, such as Stone Chapel Cem, Whitemans Chapel Cem, and Shiloh Cem, which are essential for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Northeast Texas.

Modern land management is visible through a series of engineered water features, notably the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 and Site 2 reservoirs, designed to control runoff into Langford Creek. The northern reaches are punctuated by the Negley Lookout Tower, while the southern area is marked by ranching landmarks like Arrowhead Ranch Lake. The network of county roads, including Farm Road 2120 and Summer Hill Road, connects these agricultural tracts and historic church sites.
