About this map

The Red River defines the northern boundary of this Texas-Oklahoma borderlands area, where the flat river plains meet the intricate drainage network of northern Red River County. Small rural settlements like Negley, Silver City, and Blakeney are scattered across a landscape dominated by timber and agriculture. The presence of historic burial grounds, including the Haley Cem, Albion Cem, and Tuggle Springs Cem, provides a map for genealogists tracking early families in this corner of the state.

Hydrology plays a significant role in the local geography, with Hemmingway Slough and Big Pine Creek carving through the terrain. In the southern portion of the map, Pecan Bayou begins its course, while numerous smaller tributaries like Snell Cr and Lick Cr illustrate the complex watershed of this region. The area is intersected by a grid of farm-to-market roads and county routes, such as FM 195 and FM 2118, which link these small communities to the surrounding territory.
