About this map

The Red River carves a winding path through this borderland, defining the boundary between Love County, Oklahoma, and Cooke County, Texas. Near the settlement of Leon, the river makes a sharp southern turn at Owl Hollow, eventually forming the distinctive loop of Saddler Bend. The terrain is characterized by numerous small drainage systems like Mountain Cr and Camp Cr that feed into the river valley.

Genealogists and local historians can find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the landscape, including Williams Cem in the north and the cluster around Bulcher, such as Scanland Cem and Coker Cem. Farther south toward the Texas side of the river, Brushy Mound Cem and Roberts Cem serve as important landmarks for family research. The map illustrates a network of rural roads, including HWY 373 and FM 2382, which connect these small agricultural communities and historic homesteads.
