About this map

The Red River serves as the prominent natural boundary in this landscape on the Oklahoma-Texas border, defined by the winding hydrology of its floodplain. The area is characterized by numerous oxbow lakes and sloughs, remnants of the river's shifting course, such as Eagle Bend Lake, Old River Lake, and Mintubbe Lake. Further north, the terrain transitions into a more managed water system, featuring a series of reservoirs including Waterfall-Gilford Creeks Site 5 Reservoir and Waterfall-Gilford Creeks Site 7 Reservoir. These structures, along with the channelization seen at the Bryarly Cut-off, illustrate the ongoing human efforts to control the drainage of the Waterfall Creek and Mud Creek basins. Local infrastructure is represented by the north-south corridor of Us HWY 259, providing access to this rural landscape of wetlands and water management sites.
