1980 Map of Kemp
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Red River corridor south of Kemp forms a complex landscape of shifting waters and historic lines along the Oklahoma-Texas border. This 1980 survey reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the area, defined by Island Bayou, Caney Slu, and Muddy Creek. A significant historical landmark is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts across the central terrain north of the river. Local settlement centers on the small community of Kemp and the eastern hamlet of Yarnaby, with family and community history preserved at the Burney Cem, Yarnaby Cem, and the Prairie View Ch. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plots and bottomlands, with evidence of local industry such as the Gravel Pit near Chico Cr. This map documents a quiet rural era in Bryan Co before significant modern development altered the river's character.
