About this map

The Red River Arsenal dominates the western half of this landscape, its expansive boundary lines defining the post-war industrial and military character of Bowie County. To the east, the community of Nash shows urban growth near the Nash Airport and Bann Substation, while smaller settlements like Victory City, Leary, and Redlick are linked by the Texas and Pacific railroad corridor. The terrain is marked by numerous resource extraction sites, including several Gravel Pits and a Strip Mine.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the rural acreage, from Red Springs Cem and Piney Grove Cem to the Chapelwood Memorial Gardens (Cemetery). Cultural life is anchored by local institutions such as Macedonia School and Hickory Hill Church. To the south, the waters of Lake Texarkana gather at the confluence of Elliott Fork and Aiken Creek, reflecting the area's essential hydraulic landscape.
