2010 Map of Mangum South

About this map

The town of Mangum anchors this 2010 landscape, where the southern edge of the settlement meets a rural network of farm-to-market roads. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Salt Fork Red River, which snakes across the northern half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Mulberry Creek and Fish Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the area is marked by established burial grounds, including Riverside Cemetery near the riverbanks and the more isolated Ladessa Cemetery further south. Water management and conservation are central themes of the modern era here, evidenced by a series of reservoirs and dams such as the J L Briscoe Dam and several Tri-County Turkey Creek Site catchments. These structures highlight how the region’s hydrology has been systematically shaped to support the agricultural community in Greer County.
