2019 Map of Irving

About this map

Red River provides a sweeping border between Clay and Jefferson Counties, marking the dividing line between Oklahoma and Texas in this southern plains landscape. The settlement of Irving sits at the center of a grid-iron road system, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The terrain is defined by the river’s wide, shifting basin and the small drainages that feed into it from the north. Local history and family ties are etched into the landscape through roads named for residents, such as F Schaffner Rd, L Schaffner Ln, and Burrus Rd. This survey documents the rural character of the region, where the section-line roads like Noble Wray Rd organize the landscape into a functional network of homesteads and fields typical of the Red River Valley.
