About this map

The Red River meanders along the border of Texas and Oklahoma, defining the northern landscape of this survey. The terrain is characterized by a series of dramatic loops including Burney Bend, Warrens Bend, and Tyas Bend. Further inland, the community of Marysville and the settlement at Jimtown represent the primary residential hubs, surrounded by a network of drainage systems like North Fish Creek and South Fish Creek that feed toward Moss Lake.

Resource extraction and agriculture are evident throughout the quadrangle, with scattered Oil Wells and Gravel Pits marking local industry. Distinctive topographical features such as Nubbin Ridge and several hollows like Blue Hollow and Tudor Hollow create a complex relief. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of family landmarks like Olsen Ranch, featuring its own Olsen Ranch Landing Strip, and burial sites including Weaver Cem and Bear Head Cem.
