About this map

Kemp and Yarnaby anchor this southern Oklahoma landscape along the Red River border with Texas. The terrain is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways, including the prominent Island Bayou which winds across the center of the sheet, and the complex drainage of Caney Cr, Muddy Cr, and Sandy Cr. These creeks feed into various oxbows and backwaters like Caney Slough and Rodgers Lake Number 3.

For family historians, the presence of several distinct burial grounds—Kemp Cem, Old Kemp Cem, Yarnaby Cem, and Burney Cem—provides specific geographic markers for the area's ancestral residents. The road network, though primarily comprised of section-line routes like e2170 RD and Peanut Trl Rd, reveals the enduring agricultural grid of Bryan County. Small water management features such as the 013013 Reservoir highlight the region's focus on local irrigation and livestock needs.
