2018 Map of Detroit

About this map

Detroit anchors this portion of Lamar County near the state line, where the local economy and road network meet the wetlands of Sipsey Cr. The landscape is characterized by its numerous small burial grounds, such as Riggins Cem, Shelton Cem, and Old Thompson-Centrell Cem, which serve as vital markers of early families in the region. These cemeteries are scattered across the terrain, often located near local watercourses like Bluegut Cr and Hamilton Mill Cr. The map reveals a dense network of local roads, including Dinky Line Rd and Byrd School Rd, reflecting a rural development pattern that persists alongside natural drainage features like Rocky Br and Northington Br. The intersection of county lines, including the boundary between Monroe and Lamar counties, highlights the political and geographic organization of this borderland area.
