2016 Map of Spanish Fort

About this map

Red River creates the winding southern border of this landscape, separating the Oklahoma counties of Love and Jefferson from Montague, Texas. This riverine environment is defined by its wide floodplains and the intricate network of tributaries that feed into it, including Village Cr, Farmers Cr, and Cottonwood Cr. The settlement pattern reflects a rural agricultural history, anchored by small communities such as Spanish Fort, Petersburg, and Belleville. Family and community ties are visible in the distribution of local landmarks like Liberty Chapel Ch and several burial sites, including Petersburg Cem and Mayfield Cem. The geography also includes modern infrastructure like the 067015 Reservoir, highlighting how water management continues to shape the Red River valley long after the earliest settlements were established.
