2022 Map of Direct

About this map

The Red River defines the border between Oklahoma and Texas in this contemporary record of Lamar County's northern edge. The landscape transition from the river bottomlands to the wooded reaches of the Caddo National Grassland is marked by a network of rural settlements, including Direct, Bunker Hill, and Ragtown. This area remains largely defined by its watercourses, with Bois d'Arc Creek and Slough Creek draining the southern portion of the sheet. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial sites such as Whitten Cem, Pyles Cem, and Georgia Cem near the small community of Georgia. The dense collection of county roads suggests a resilient rural infrastructure connecting these historic agrarian settlements long after the peak of the cotton era.
