About this map

Big Bay Lake dominates the central landscape of this Lamar County region, its irregular shoreline defined by the confluence of numerous tributaries including Buck Branch and Driven Branch. This modern survey illustrates a topography of intricately carved drainages, where the headwaters of Hurricane Creek and Beaver Pond Branch create a dense network of ridges and hollows. Local family history is rooted in the surrounding countryside, anchored by the Bay Creek Cem and a road system that honors local names, such as Sodie Cameron Rd and Levi Bryant Rd. The terrain rises to landmarks like Grapevine Head Hill in the northeast, while the southern reaches are marked by the geologic signature of Tatum Salt Dome Rd near Hickory Hollow.
