About this map

The Red River snakes through the center of this landscape, forming the natural border between Love County and Texas. On the Oklahoma side, the settlement of Thackerville serves as a primary hub near the interstate corridor, while smaller localities like Bomar sit further north. The terrain is defined by its riparian complexity, featuring numerous water bodies such as Burk Lake, Whittington Lake, and Gladney Lake, which was created by the Gladney Lake Dam. These wetlands and floodplains, including the interestingly named Frog Bottom, indicate a legacy of agricultural and riverine activity.

To the west, the Sivells Bend area highlights a different economic history with the Sivells Bend Oil Field. Researchers will find several sites of genealogical interest, including High Point Cemetery and Mount Zion Cemetery. In the southwestern corner, the expansive Hubert M Moss Lake is fed by North Fish Creek and South Fish Creek, the latter managed by the Fish Creek Dam. Distinctive landmarks like Three Mounds further characterize the varied topography of this borderland region.
