History in
a Pecan Shell
Scrap, Texas disappeared sometime in the 1930s. A post office operated
between 1903 and 1924 and the only population figure given in the
Handbook of Texas was for 1914 when 25 Scrapers called the place
home.
*The TxDoT County Map for Red River County shows a distance of 3.1
miles between the towns of Kiomatia and Kanawha - following FM 410.
The exact location of the town would have to be determined by earlier
maps.
