Synopsis

Oklahoma and Texas disputed the location of their boundary along the Red River, and the Supreme Court confirmed the third report submitted by court-appointed commissioners that established the boundary line along the south bank of the Red River from the One Hundredth meridian to the eastern limit of Lamar County, Texas. The Court declared this delineated boundary to be the true boundary between the states, subject to natural changes from erosion and accretion.
