About this map

Blossom and Reno anchor the rail and road corridor east of Paris in this survey of Lamar County's agrarian and aviation landscape. The influence of the railroad is preserved at the Santa Fe-Frisco Depot near Reno, while the broader countryside is marked by small settlements like Sylvan and Faught. Aviation and recreation play a prominent role in the southern portion of the map, centered on Cox Field and the nearby Paris Drag Strip.

Water management and local history are etched into the terrain through numerous creek systems and family-named landmarks. The drainage network includes Cuthand Creek, Mulberry Creek, and several numbered Soil Conservation Service dams, such as Site 13 Dam. For those tracing family roots, the map identifies small burial grounds including Sikes Cemetery and Moore Springs Cemetery, alongside the larger Meadowbrook Memorial Park. This 2010 edition documents a landscape where traditional small-town Texas life meets modern infrastructure.
