2016 Map of Lamar

About this map

Lamar is situated in the rolling hills of Hughes County, where the terrain begins its descent toward the Canadian River in the south. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape defined by water management and rural interment, featuring several man-made catchments like the Hack Black Junior Reservoir and Little Wetumka Creek Site 14 Reservoir. These structures underscore the importance of water conservation in Oklahoma's cattle and farming country. Genealogical interest is centered on three distinct burial grounds: McMahan Cem in the north, Spring Creek Cem to the south, and Crossroads Cem near the settlement of Cross Roads. The topographic relief is punctuated by local landmarks such as Lamar Mtn and Tabletop Mtn, which overlook the winding paths of Greasy Cr and Coal Cr. Small-town infrastructure is concentrated in Lamar, where named streets like Jefferson Ave and Walnut St represent the community core.
