About this map

Deport sits at the junction of Lamar and Red River counties, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural plains during this 2016 survey. The town's grid is centered near Old City Lake and the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir, reflecting the importance of water management in this prairie landscape. To the east, the settlement of Fulbright and the community of Shadowland are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads, including FM 410 and FM 411.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including Wrights Chapel Cem, Bethel Cem, and the Mount Pleasant Cem north of Deport. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with the winding paths of Mustang Cr, Cuthand Cr, and Brushy Cr cutting through the fields, while the village of Milton marks the western edge of the study area along FM 1501.
