About this map

The Caddo National Grassland dominates the northern landscape of this Fannin County region, where the Texas-Oklahoma border is defined by the winding course of the Red River near Sowells Bluff. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous waterways such as Cottonwood Cr and Sandy Cr, which flow through a mix of agricultural land and wooded creek bottoms. In the south, Lake Bonham serves as a major geographical anchor, with its shoreline reaching towards the community of Boyd.

Family and local history is preserved across the landscape in various burying grounds, including the Odd Fellows Cem near Ravenna and the Upper Union Cem to the west. Small settlements like Ridings dot the rural road network, while specialized landmarks such as the Sandy Creek Ranch Airport highlight contemporary land use. The map illustrates the transition from the structured street plan of Ravenna to the expansive natural preserves and riparian corridors of the river valley.
