1951 Map of Negley

About this map

The Red River defines the northern border of this 1951 survey, marking the transition between Texas and Oklahoma. Settlement is concentrated in small rural clusters like Albion, Silver City, and Blakeney, while the community of Negley sits further south with its own Negley PO. The landscape is a network of drainage systems, where Big Pine Creek and Little Pine Creek feed toward the river valley, and the southern reaches are shaped by Pecan Bayou and Dinwiddie Bayou. Local life is anchored by community landmarks such as the Albion Sch and several burial grounds, including Haley Cem and Tuggle Springs Cem. This map records a mid-century agricultural landscape of dispersed farmsteads connected by unimproved roads, just before the modernization of the local rural infrastructure changed the character of these Red River County outposts.
