About this map

The Red River corridor defines the northern reach of this 1951 survey, where the state boundary between Texas and Oklahoma follows the winding waterway. Small riverside communities and crossroads like Albion and Silver City dot the landscape just south of the river, connected by a network of rural roads that navigate the complex drainage patterns of Hemingway Slough and Big Pine Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks preserved on this sheet, including the Negley PO and the Albion Sch. The rural character of the era is evidenced by the proximity of the Haley Cem and Albion Cem to their namesake settlements. To the south, the terrain transitions into the lowlands of Pecan Bayou and Dewiddie Bayou, illustrating the agrarian and water-dependent nature of life in Red River County before modern development altered these traditional drainage basins.
