About this map

Red River oxbows and secondary waterways dominate this landscape along the Texas and Arkansas border, creating a complex network of sloughs and cut-off lakes. The erratic path of the river is clearly visible through features like Hudson Bow, Applewhite Cut-off Lake, and Little Red Lake, illustrating how the shifting channel has shaped the local geography over decades. Small agricultural settlements and community hubs such as Smith Hill, Burns, and Redbank are connected by a grid of county roads, including FM-1398 and Billy Simms Rd.

Local landmarks such as Cranfill Airfield and the Smith Club Dam reflect 21st-century land use, while the Hughes Cemetery provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in Bowie County. The terrain is largely defined by low-lying areas like Black Bottom and numerous drainage features such as Barkman Creek and Walnut Bayou, which emphasize the hydrological character of this riverine borderland.
