About this map

The Red River serves as the prominent boundary between Oklahoma and Texas along the northern edge of this mid-1980s survey. The landscape of Clay County is defined by the winding course of the Little Wichita River and its tributary, the East Fork Little Wichita River, which cut through the central and southern reaches of the map. Evidence of rural infrastructure is scattered throughout, including multiple instances of wells and a specific drill hole, indicating the region's relationship with subsurface resources.

Genealogists and local historians will find the eponymous Riverland Cemetery in the north, while the small settlement of Cube sits to the west along Long Creek. The area remains largely open, with a Radio Tower and a Corral marking the limited built environment. The northern shoreline, including the area near Patterson, showcases the shifting hydrology where the Jefferson and Clay County lines meet the river.
