2018 Map of New Oberlin

About this map

New Oberlin and the winding course of the Red River anchor this rural landscape along the Oklahoma-Texas border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward-flowing Whitegrass Cr, Rock Cr, and Pointer Cr, which carve through the plains of southern Choctaw County. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape of dispersed agricultural holdings connected by an orderly grid of county roads like E 2100 Rd and N 4040 Rd. Local history is preserved in several scattered burial sites, such as Crowder Cem, Crowder Springs Cem, and Oberlin Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the families who settled this borderland. Near the southeastern corner, the crossing at Garretts Bluff marks a historic point of contact between Choctaw and Lamar counties, where the river serves as both a natural boundary and a focal point for the region's geography.
