About this map

Lake Texoma and the Red River define the northern boundary of this region, where the state line between Texas and Oklahoma weaves through the water. The landscape is characterized by prominent landforms like Preston Peninsula and Grandpappy Point, which extend into the Little Mineral Arm. Small inland settlements such as Fink and Pottsboro are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and local routes, including FM 996.

Genealogists can identify several local burial grounds, including Georgetown Cem near the center of the map and Hagerman Cem to the southwest. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Diamond J Airport and Hitex Private Airport. The topography shows a transition from the higher elevations near Denison down toward the creek beds of Little Mineral Creek and Iron Ore Creek, illustrating the drainage patterns that feed into the larger reservoir system.
