About this map

The Red River defines a winding border between Oklahoma and Texas, its path marked by an indefinite boundary that snakes through the river valley. The landscape is a network of floodplain features and small settlements, including the town of Grant and the community of Goodland. Significant water bodies like the oxbow-shaped Roebuck Lake and the Muddy Boggy Creek suggest a highly dynamic hydrological environment where the river has shifted over time, evidenced by the Boggy Cutoff.

Rural life is anchored by numerous small congregations and burial grounds, such as Mt Pleasant Ch, Antioch Ch, and the Sweet Hill Cem. Transportation through the area is dominated by the St Louis - San Francisco rail line and a modern Weigh Station near the border crossing. The map also captures local industry and recreation, from a Gravel Pit to a Golf Course, providing a look at the Choctaw County landscape in the early 1980s.
