About this map

Deport straddles the line between Lamar Co and Red River Co in this modern topographic study, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. The landscape is defined by its numerous small burial grounds and a complex drainage system of creeks and bayous. Significant local landmarks include Old City Lake and several family or community cemeteries such as Highland Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Wrights Chapel Cem.

Outside the primary settlement of Deport, smaller communities like Milton, Fulbright, and Shadowland are connected by a dense network of county roads. The terrain is crisscrossed by waterways including Mustang Cr, Brushy Cr, and Cuthand Cr, which have influenced the layout of rural property lines and road placements for generations. This map provides a clear view of the contemporary rural infrastructure and historical cemetery locations essential for genealogical research in this portion of Northeast Texas.
