About this map

The Blue River and Red River define the southern edge of this Oklahoma-Texas border region, where the floodplain transitions into the wooded creek basins of Bryan County. The small settlement of Lake West sits near the riverbanks, anchored by a network of drainage systems including Whitegrass Creek, Slash Creek, and Frazier Creek. These waterways dictate the local geography, winding through lands once divided among the townships of Bennington and Hunter.

Evidence of local community life is visible in the presence of Good Springs Ch and several rural cemeteries scattered across the landscape. The infrastructure of the 1970s is represented by a Landing Strip and a Radio Tower, which stand alongside long-established natural landmarks like Lick Creek and Rock Creek. This survey provides a clear look at the jurisdictional boundaries where the Oklahoma and Texas border meets the intersection of Bryan and Choctaw counties.
