1984 Map of Frederick SW

About this map

The Red River creates a shifting natural boundary at the intersection of Tillman, Jackson, and Wilbarger counties in the early 1980s. This survey illustrates the intricate braided channels and sandbars characteristic of the river's path, where an Indefinite Boundary marks the complex division between Oklahoma and Texas. To the north, the North Fork joins the main stem amidst a landscape punctuated by the Richland terrain. The area is defined by a heavy reliance on groundwater and mineral extraction, evidenced by numerous Wells and scattered Oil Wells across the floodplains. To the southwest, Salt Creek feeds into the river system, highlighting the hydrological patterns of the Red River Valley before modern channel stabilization or further agricultural development altered the immediate riparian environment.
