About this map

The Red River defines the border between Texas and Arkansas on this 2022 survey, carving a series of dramatic loops including the notable oxbow at Hudson Bow. This landscape is dominated by the complex hydrology of the river's floodplain, where secondary water bodies like Hubbard Slough, Dunn Lake, and LaVoice Lake occupy former channels. The terrain transitions south into the low-lying Black Bottom, a region marked by numerous small ponds and drainage creeks like Barkman Cr.

Local settlements are concentrated on slightly higher ground, including Redbank, Burns, and Smith Hill. For genealogists and local historians, several community landmarks are documented, such as Red Bank Cem, Cedar Springs Cem, and Red Oak Grove Cem. The map illustrates a rural infrastructure of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 560 and FM 1398 that navigate the wetlands and sloughs characteristic of this river valley borderland.
