2016 Map of Marietta West

About this map

The Red River defines the winding boundary between Oklahoma and Texas in this survey of the borderlands near Marietta. The landscape is shaped by the river's hydrology, featuring the Old Slough, Walnut Bayou, and numerous small tributaries like Shiggin Cr and Rock Cr. To the northwest, the Eastman Hills rise above the drainage basins, while the community of Sivells Bend sits within a prominent river loop on the Texas side. The map documents a rural network of family and agricultural roads, including Peanut Rd and Ralph Bloomer Rd, which connect outlying homesteads to the regional center. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Gunter Cem south of the river, providing a record of early settlement patterns in this cross-border corridor.
