2022 Map of Slate Shoals

About this map

The Red River defines the northern boundary of this Texas landscape, separating Lamar County from Choctaw County, Oklahoma. The settlement of Slate Shoals sits near the river bluffs, while the small communities of Medill and Novice are situated further south along a network of county roads and farm-to-market routes. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Pine Cr, Moran Br, and Ninemile Cr, which drain into the river basin. Family and community history is anchored by numerous burial grounds including Oak Hill Cem, Red Hill Cem, and Reeds Chapel Cem. To the northeast, the oxbow at Womack Lake remains a prominent hydrological feature. The map reveals a rural economy organized around these waterways and the local road system, including FM 195 and FM 2648, connecting isolated farmsteads and small crossroads settlements.
