2019 Map of Monkstown

About this map

The Red River defines the northern boundary of this landscape, separating Fannin County, Texas, from Bryan County, Oklahoma. This rural riverfront territory is anchored by the small settlements of Monkstown and Riverby, connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Caddo National Grassland, a significant public land area where the terrain becomes more varied as it descends toward Bois d'Arc Cr and its tributaries like Sandy Cr and Tanyard Cr. For those tracing local families, several established burial grounds are documented, including Arch Chapel Cem, Forest Grove Cem, and Bigsby Cem. The map illustrates a landscape of managed conservation and agriculture, with numerous small watercourses such as Mud Br and Black Br draining the prairie toward the major river system to the north.
