2010 Map of Deport

About this map

Deport serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in northeast Texas, where a grid of rural roads connects several small communities and historic burial sites. The area is defined by a dense network of seasonal and permanent waterways, including Mustang Creek, Brushy Creek, and Cuthand Creek, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of multiple cemeteries such as Wrights Chapel Cemetery, Highland Cemetery, and Mount Pleasant Cemetery provides essential markers of early settlement patterns near these watercourses. Significant water management features are evident south of Hoover, specifically the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and its associated dam. The map also documents smaller settlements like Byrdtown and Shadowland, illustrating the enduring nature of these rural townships in Lamar County during the early twenty-first century.
