2010 Map of Biardstown

About this map

Biardstown and its surrounding hamlets in Lamar County are defined by a network of rural roads and watercourses that drain toward the Pecan Branch and Hickory Creek. In this 2010 survey, the landscape is dotted with small, historically significant settlements like Glory, Frog Hop, and Broadway Junction. These names often reflect early local commerce or transport points that survived into the 21st century. The map reveals an extensive system of water management, evidenced by numerous structures such as Soil Conservation Service Site 12 Dam and its counterparts along Baker Branch and Auds Creek. These sites, alongside the Camp Hill Oil Field, indicate a landscape shaped by both natural resource extraction and modern land conservation efforts. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of several rural burial grounds, including Brackeen Cemetery and New Dora Cemetery, which anchor the histories of these small Texas communities.
