About this map

The Red River defines the southern boundary of this region, winding past the community of Illinois Bend where the river makes a pronounced southern arc. In the southeast corner, the town of Leon is organized on a traditional grid, featuring named thoroughfares like River St and 7th St. The landscape is a network of rural watercourses including Coffeepot Cr, Red Oak Cr, and Mud Cr that drain the territory north of the primary river valley.

Genealogists will find several burial sites distributed across the countryside, including Leon Cem, Murrell Cem, and Courtney Cem. Further north, the settlement of Rubottom sits near its namesake Rubottom Cem. The road network is a mix of established routes like FM-677 and specific ranch roads such as Kimbell Ranch Rd, reflecting the long-standing agricultural and ranching character of Love County.
