About this map

Hynds City and the small settlements of Rowland and Valley View anchor this North Texas landscape just south of the Oklahoma border. The area is defined by the winding course of the Red River, which carves the northern boundary of the map, alongside the distinct path of the Old Channel Red Creek. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the waters of Lake Nocona, held by the Farmers Creek Dam.

Industry and local history are evident in the presence of the Nocona North Spanish Fort Oil Field and the Oscar Oil Field, illustrating the region's reliance on energy extraction. Genealogists will find particular value in the locations of the Oscar Cemetery in the northwest and the Spanish Fort Cemeteries to the east. The terrain is further characterized by drainage patterns like Wolf Hollow and Maddox Creek, which feed into the primary river systems of this borderland territory.
