About this map

The Red River snakes along the state line between Oklahoma and Texas, creating a complex borderland of oxbows and floodplains. On the Oklahoma side, Thackerville serves as a primary hub, situated near the Whittington Ranch Airport and the rail corridor of W Railroad St. The topography is defined by significant water features and drainage systems, including Burk Lake, Whittington Lake, and Gladney Lake, which sit within the river's basin.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early burial grounds such as High Point Cem and Mount Zion Cem, which provide anchors for the surrounding rural communities. To the west, the landscape shifts toward the recreational waters of Hubert M Moss Lake and the distinctive elevations of Three Mounds. The transition from the river bottomlands at Frog Bottom to the higher elevations near Sivells Bend illustrates the varied terrain that has shaped settlement and agriculture in this corner of Love County.
