About this map

Pecan Bayou and its winding tributaries, including White Oak Bayou and Campground Bayou, define the landscape of this Red River County region. Small rural clusters and family landmarks are scattered throughout, most notably around the settlement of Dimple. The southern edge of the survey reaches into the outskirts of Clarksville, where the terrain transitions from open bayou bottomlands to more developed areas near the Country Club.

For researchers and genealogists, this documentation is particularly useful for locating numerous burial grounds and rural religious sites. Several historically significant locations are mapped, such as Stone Chapel Cem, Hopewell Cem, and Whitemans Chapel Cem. The presence of several Soil Conservation Service reservoirs and the Arrowhead Ranch Lake highlights the ongoing water management and ranching operations that characterize the modern rural economy of northeast Texas.
