About this map

The Red River defines the sweeping border between Oklahoma and Texas, joined by the Salt Fork Red River in a landscape dominated by agriculture and expansive floodplains. Near the northern edge of the map, the small settlement of Elmer is centered on a grid of streets including Main St and Neville Ave. This community represents the quiet rural character of Jackson County, where long, straight section-line roads like E1750 Rd connect isolated homesteads and farms.

To the east, the hamlet of Hess and the nearby Hess Cem provide significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in this corner of the state. The topography is marked by subtle shifts in elevation, most notably at Red Hollow, as the land descends toward the wide riverbanks. This 2016 survey documents the enduring layout of rural Jackson County just before the mid-2010s, capturing the specific alignment of state and county routes like Highway 283.
