2016 Map of Blossom

About this map

Paris and its surrounding Lamar County prairie land are captured here during a period of steady residential expansion and agricultural activity. The landscape is defined by a dense network of creeks, including Sixmile Creek, Sevenmile Creek, and Ninemile Creek, which flow through the north while Mulberry Creek and Bee Bayou drain the southern reaches. The map highlights the eastern growth of the city toward Reno, centered around the Union Grove Cemetery and the industrial and aviation hub at Cox Field. To the east, the established town of Blossom sits along the rail corridor, while smaller communities like Sylvan and Faught remain as points of local history. Notable landmarks for genealogists and researchers include several rural burial grounds such as Sikes Cemetery and Corn Cemetery, alongside topographical features like Hogans Bluff.
