About this map

Red River flows along the state border between Texas and Oklahoma in the early 1950s, anchoring a landscape defined by its complex drainage network and small riverfront communities. The settlement of Albion and its associated Albion Sch and Albion Cem sit just south of the river, near the confluence of Hemingway Slough and the main channel. Further south, the community of Negley centers around its namesake Negley PO, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural tracts.

The topography transitions from the alluvial bottomlands of the Red River and Clear Lake into the dissected uplands carved by Big Pine Creek and Little Pine Creek. Genealogists can find several family-linked landmarks, including the Tuggle Springs Cem and Haley Cem. The map provides a look at the road network and land use before late-century shifts, documenting the persistence of small hamlets like Silver City and Blakeney.
