About this map

Louis and Star Valley anchor this agricultural landscape in Harmon County along the southwestern Oklahoma border. The region is defined by the winding course of the Red River, which forms the southern boundary between Oklahoma and Texas. The land is gridded by a precise network of rural roads, including E1690 Rd and N1770 Rd, which provide access to the vast plains and scattered homesteads of the area.

Genealogists will find interest in the documented local burial sites, such as the Louis Cem and Liberty Cem located near the northeast corner. The map also traces the hydrology of Sandy Cr as it meanders toward the river through the varied terrain where Harmon and Jackson counties meet. This survey captures a specific moment in the contemporary management of the Oklahoma-Texas borderlands, illustrating the enduring settlement patterns in this part of the Red River valley.
