About this map

The Red River and its intricate drainage network define this corner of Miller County during the early 1950s. The landscape is characterized by its alluvial nature, featuring oxbow remnants like First Old River Lake and Second Old River Lake, alongside the expansive Lost Prairie. Local transportation and commerce are anchored by the St Louis Southwestern railroad, which skirts the southern edge of the survey near the settlement of Artex.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the rural landmarks that supported these communities. Small settlements such as Dooley and Hervey appear alongside centers of local life like Tregg Ch and Troy Ch. The terrain rises to the south at Wolf Mountain and Krause Hill, where a Lookout Tower stands watch. Economic activity is evidenced by scattered Oil Wells, Gravel Pits, and a prominent Pipeline, reflecting the industrial footprint of the era in this river-bottom territory.
