2019 Map of Detroit

About this map

Blossom and Detroit anchor this survey of the northeast Texas prairie, situated along the shared border of Lamar Co and Red River Co. The landscape is a network of creek bottoms and small drainages, including Cuthand Cr and Little Pine Cr, which have shaped the local topography and historical land use. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the area is dotted with numerous burial grounds such as the Knights of Honor Cem, Egypt Cem, and Red Oak Cem, reflecting the scattered rural communities that once thrived between the larger railroad towns. In the northern reaches, the small settlement of Post Oak remains a notable landmark in a region defined by its agricultural heritage and numerous watercourses like Denwiddie Bayou and Wildcat Cr.
