1968 Map of Spanish Fort

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Red River meanders along the Oklahoma-Texas border, defining the landscape of Jefferson and Montague counties as they appeared in the late 1960s. This survey records a riverine environment shaped by erosion and shifting boundaries, where an Indefinite Boundary marks the complex division between the two states. The rural economy is evident through the Illinois Bend Oil Field and scattered agricultural settlements like Spanish Fort, which sits near the confluence of Village Creek and the main channel. Family and community heritage is deeply rooted here, preserved in several burial grounds including Liberty Chapel Cem, Petersburg Cem, and Bourland Cem. To the north and east, the terrain transitions toward Burney and Brushy Mound, drained by a network of tributaries such as Mud Creek and Sandy Creek. Small community hubs like Petersburg, Belleville, and Courtney serve as anchor points across this borderland cattle and oil country.
