Oklahoma and Texas sought to establish the boundary line between their states along the Red River, with the Supreme Court overseeing appointed commissioners who surveyed and marked portions of the boundary, including the Big Bend Area and the medial line near river bed oil wells. The Court accepted the commissioners' reports and maps, setting a four-week deadline for either state to file objections to the boundary determinations.
