About this map

The Red River defines the northern boundary of this Lamar County landscape, where the historic Oberlin Ferry once connected Texas and Oklahoma. This agricultural region is dotted with small rural communities and crossroad settlements such as Direct, East Direct, and Bunker Hill. The terrain is shaped by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Slough Cr and Sanders Cr, which feed into the primary river valley.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Pyles Cem south of East Direct, a significant landmark for tracing family roots in the area. To the south, the settlement of Georgia sits near Slough Cr, while the northern reaches feature Oberlin Lake and the community of Weeks. The map reflects a landscape of dispersed farmsteads and rural routes like Farm Road 79, maintaining a layout that preserves the names of early settlements such as Unity and Oberlin.
