About this map

The Red River creates a meandering border between Oklahoma and Texas in this 1951 study of McCurtain County and Bowie County. The landscape is defined by the river's shifting path, evident in complex features like Severn Island and the Bailey Cut-off. This era reveals a rural community supported by local institutions, with the settlement of Tom serving as a central point for the surrounding area. Numerous small schoolhouses, such as Sand Hill Sch and Pleasant Grove Sch, are scattered across the terrain, indicating a decentralized educational system typical of the mid-century South.
