2019 Map of Slate Shoals

About this map

The Red River defines the northern boundary of this Texas-Oklahoma borderland, where Lamar and Choctaw counties meet. This 2019 survey captures a landscape structured by rural farm-to-market roads and the remnants of small agricultural communities. The settlement of Slate Shoals sits just south of the river bend, while the small hubs of Medill and Novice are situated further south along FM 195. For family historians, the map provides precise locations for several local burial grounds, including Oak Hill Cem, Long Cem, and Newbether Cem. The terrain is deeply carved by water, notably Pine Cr and Ninety-mile Cr, which flow through the wooded bottoms and pastures typical of this region's post-oak belt. Numerous secondary routes like Firehouse Rd and Springhill Rd branch out from the main thoroughfares, connecting long-established rural homesteads and properties.
