About this map

Red River meanders sharply along the Texas-Oklahoma border, creating the dramatic fluvial features of Horseshoe Bend and Addington Bend. This landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Texoma in the northeast and the industrial presence of the Walnut Bend Oil Field to the south. The small settlements of Coesfield and Walnut Bend serve as local hubs in this rural pocket of Cooke County, connected by a network of county roads like Co Rd-108 and Co Hwy-198.

Genealogists can find significant local history at Decherds Cem and Black Cem, which are situated near the river’s bends. The terrain is deeply etched by tributaries such as Hickory Cr and Rock Cr, while landmarks like Dripping Springs and Tuttle Br point to the area's natural hydrology. The map captures a contemporary look at this borderland where agricultural land meets the shifting banks of the river and the established energy infrastructure of North Texas.
