About this map

Biardstown and the surrounding rural communities of southern Lamar County are captured here in a period of modern agricultural continuity. Small settlements like Glory and Atlas anchor the landscape, while the junction of farm roads and state routes facilitates the movement of local goods near the southern outskirts of Paris. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Auds Cr and Hickory Cr, which carve through the plains.

For family historians, this sheet is particularly significant for its documentation of numerous local burial sites. Named landmarks such as Campbell Cem, Brackeen Cem, and Antioch Cem are clearly marked, providing precise locations for ancestral research in these smaller townships. The presence of Broadway Junction and Broadway suggests the enduring importance of transit hubs in this cattle and farming region north of the Sulphur River watershed.
