About this map

The Red River defines the sweeping interstate boundary between Oklahoma and Texas in this 2016 survey, where the braided river channel separates Jackson and Hardeman counties. This borderland is characterized by a network of drainage creeks, including Papoose Cr, Squaw Cr, and Kid Cr, that feed into the main river valley from the surrounding plains. The terrain is sparsely settled, anchored by the community of North Groesbeck in the south and the settlement of Lincoln in the northeastern corner.

Local transport is dominated by a grid of rural roads such as FM 1166, Ritchie Rd, and Wells Rd, which provide access to the agricultural landscape. Named natural features like Brooks Springs and the winding N Groesbeck Cr suggest the vital role of water in this semi-arid region. The map captures the enduring rural character of this frontier territory, where family-named roads like Becknell Rd and Stovall Rd mark the legacy of long-standing landholdings.
