About this map

The Red River defines the borderlands of Montague County in this survey, where the river's dynamic history is visible through the Old Channel Red Cr and shifting banks. This region is a landscape of energy production and rural education, anchored by the Oscar Oil Field in the north and the Nocona North Spanish Fort Oil Field near the center. The eponymous Prairie Valley School serves as a central landmark for the surrounding communities of Hynds City, Rowland, and Valley View.

To the southeast, the shoreline of Lake Nocona provides a distinct contrast to the agricultural and petroleum-focused interior. Local heritage is preserved at the Spanish Ft Cemeteries and Oscar Cem, while the winding courses of Village Cr and Farmers Cr drain the territory toward the primary river valley. The map details a network of rural routes including FM-103 and FM 2849 RD that connect these dispersed homesteads and industrial sites.
