2022 Map of English

About this map

The Red River defines the border between Texas and Oklahoma in this riverine landscape, where shifting currents have carved a complex network of oxbows and cut-offs. Large meanders like the Eagle Bend Cut-Off and Dick Johnson Cut-Off reveal the volatile history of the river channel, while Forty-one Cut-off Lake remains as a remnant of a former bend. The settlement of English sits in the southwestern corner, serving as a hub for local routes like FM 114 and FM 1699. This rural terrain is marked by family and community history, evidenced by the scattered locations of Riverview Cem, Jackson Cem, and Henrietta Cem. The drainage patterns of Pecan Bayou and Beaverdam Cr dominate the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the low-lying, water-rich geography that dictates the placement of roads and homesteads.
