About this map

Tom anchors this region in McCurtain County, where the landscape is defined by the winding meanders of the Red River. The geography reveals a complex system of oxbow lakes and historical channel changes, visible in features like Bailey Cut-off, Snag Lake, and Caney Lake. These water bodies, along with Seven Island and Severn Island, reflect the shifting nature of the river border between Oklahoma and Texas.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites across the northern portion of the quadrangle. Scattered among the rural road network are Harris Cem, Byrms Cem, Manning Cem, and Pine Ridge Cem, providing a direct link to the area's early residents. The infrastructure is primarily agricultural and rural, with Farm-To-Market Road 2735 providing a key connection through the floodplains south toward the river.
