2010 Map of Kemp

About this map

Kemp and the small settlement of Yarnaby anchor this landscape along the northern banks of the Red River near the Oklahoma-Texas border. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses and floodplains, where Island Bayou meanders through the central terrain alongside numerous small lakes such as Boatner Lake, Robinson Lake, and Garner Lake. The presence of Burney Cemetery and Yarnaby Cemetery provides important landmarks for genealogical research in this rural portion of Bryan County. To the south, the winding course of the Red River marks the state boundary, while further inland, local infrastructure is noted by features like the Oknoname 013013 Reservoir and the Oknoname 013013 Dam. The grid of rural routes, including S Connelly School Rd and Kemp Rd, connects these dispersed homesteads and water bodies.
