About this map

The Red River defines the border between Texas and Oklahoma in this 2012 survey, winding past McFarland Island and several water supply stations. On the Texas side, the landscape is defined by the energy and aviation sectors, with the Thornberry Oil Field situated in the southeast and the northern edges of Sheppard Air Force Base visible along the southern boundary. Small-scale aviation is well-represented by facilities like Klinkerman Airport and 4-Shipp Airport, reflecting the region's spread-out settlement pattern.

Rural communities such as Thornberry and the Cashion Community are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and local lanes. The presence of Lilly Spring and McFarland Spring suggests the vital role of local water sources in this relatively dry landscape between the Red and the Wichita River. This modern digital topographic study provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure and land use in Wichita County during the early 21st century.
