About this map

The Red River defines the shifting border between Texas and Oklahoma in this riverine landscape, where the legacy of the water's changing path is visible in numerous oxbow features. Notable landmarks like Eagle Bend Cut-Off, Dick Johnson Cut-Off, and Harris Bend Cut Off illustrate the dynamic nature of the river channel over time. South of the main channel, the settlement of English sits near the intersection of FM 114 and FM 1699, serving as a local hub for the surrounding agricultural lands.

Water management and drainage are central to the area's geography, with Pecan Bayou and Pecan Springs cutting through the central portion of the quadrangle. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Riverview Cem overlooking the river bottomlands. The map also traces the network of southern tributaries including Beaverdam Cr and W Beaverdam Cr, which drain the low-lying terrain into the larger river system.
