2010 Map of Lamar

About this map

Old Lamar Cemetery serves as a central landmark in this rural landscape straddling the Mississippi-Tennessee border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small burial grounds and family-named roads, indicating a deeply rooted community structure maintained over generations. Waterways such as Mount Tena Creek, Grays Creek, and the Wolf River drain the region, while labels like Bear Creek Cove highlight specific geographic pockets of settlement. Numerous smaller sites, including Rice Chapel Cemetery, Hickory Hill Cemetery, and Howard Cemetery, are scattered among the farms and creek bottoms. This map records the late-20th-century road network, featuring routes like Sims Chapel Rd and Harris Chapel Rd that hint at the historical locations of local congregations and community centers in this borderland territory.
