2012 Map of Deport

About this map

The community of Deport serves as the central hub of this Northeast Texas landscape, where a grid of rural routes like Byrdtown Rd and Pattonville Hooverton Rd connects small agricultural settlements and family farmsteads. The topography is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways, including Brushy Cr, Cuthand Cr, and the slow-moving Bee Bayou. Local heritage is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Wrights Chapel Cem and Bethel Cem, while the town center of Deport exhibits a concentrated street plan near Old City Lake. Further out, smaller locales like Hoover and Byrdtown punctuate the landscape, alongside engineering features like the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir, which manages the drainage of the fertile prairie lands between Lake Drain Cr and Mustang Cr.
