2019 Map of Woodland

About this map

The Red River forms the winding border between Texas and Oklahoma at the northern edge of this landscape, carving a path past Bowman Island. This region, where Lamar and Red River counties meet, is defined by a network of waterways including Pine Creek, Little Pine Cr, and the headwaters of Pecan Bayou. Small rural settlements like Woodland and Kanawha serve as central points for the surrounding agricultural land, connected by a web of farm-to-market roads and county routes. Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the several burial grounds dotting the area, such as Woodland Cem, Pine Hill Cem, and Tinsley Cem. The map illustrates the persistent rural character of this borderland, where the terrain transitions from the river bottomlands into a prairie landscape punctuated by Rogers Lake and numerous seasonal wetlands.
