About this map

Lake Texoma dominates the central landscape of this Marshall County survey, where the Red River valley is submerged beneath its waters. The terrain is defined by the jagged, flooded peninsulas of the lake shore, carved by tributaries like Buncombe Creek, Brier Creek, and Sandy Cr. These waterways create a complex interface of land and water, shaping the local road network and settlement patterns.

Several small communities and historic markers are distributed across the high ground and low basins. The settlements of Powell, Fobb, and Willis serve as focal points for local history, complemented by ancestral sites such as Powell Cem, Shay Cem, and Willis Cem. In the south, Fobb Bottom indicates the low-lying geography near the original river course, while Recreation Area C highlights the modern transition of the landscape into a hub for outdoor activity along the reservoir’s edge.
