About this map

Red River floodplains and the borderlands of Oklahoma and Texas dominate this 1980s-era topographic study. The landscape is defined by the shifting course of the river, which has created numerous oxbows and water bodies such as Cutoff Lake and Eagle Lake. On the southern bank, the Caddo National Grassland provides a significant preserved area of native terrain, surrounding Lake Fannin.

Settlement patterns are concentrated in small rural communities like Yuba, Tulip, and Duplex. The area's agricultural and industrial character is evident through the presence of several Gravel Pits and the winding paths of Island Bayou and Wolf Creek. Notable geographic landmarks like Popes Point and Sowells Bluff overlook the river valley, marking the transition between the uplands and the fertile bottomlands that have long shaped the local economy and genealogy of Bryan and Fannin counties.
