About this map

The Red River corridor defines the boundary between Oklahoma and Texas on this mid-century survey, where the winding channel creates complex land features like Pitts Bend and Allen Island. North of the river, Choctaw County is characterized by a dense network of local schools and cemeteries serving rural communities such as Goodland and Grant. Significant cultural landmarks like the Goodland School and Goodland Cem appear alongside the St Louis San Francisco railroad line, which provides a primary transport spine through the region.

South of the river in Texas, the Camp Maxey Military Reservation occupies a massive footprint, complete with its own internal infrastructure including Lamar Lake and the Camp Maxey cantonment area. This military presence sits adjacent to established settlements like Chicota and Arthur City, illustrating the intersection of wartime expansion and traditional agricultural life. The landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks and rural institutions, from the Craddock School to the Forest Chapel Ch.
