About this map

The Red River defines the state boundary between Jefferson County, Oklahoma, and Montague County, Texas, in this late 1960s landscape. Near the river's winding course, the settlement of Fleetwood is situated among numerous drainage systems including Fleetwood Creek and Cat Creek. To the north, the terrain transitions into the larger land divisions of Blackburn, Wray, and Brown, where local infrastructure is marked by a network of unimproved roads and an industrial Pipeline.

Natural landmarks like Swell Hollow and Sam Creek provide geographic context for the community of Union, centered around its church. Scattered Oil Wells along the river bottom and southern elevations indicate the area's extraction history. The survey also notes an Indefinite Boundary along the river, reflecting the shifting nature of the waterway that separates Oklahoma from Texas near Pecan Creek and Panther Creek.
