About this map

Lamasco and its surrounding rural communities in Fannin County are defined by a complex network of small tributaries and numerous family and community burial grounds. The landscape is drained by Bois d'Arc Cr in the south and Coffee Mill Cr to the north, creating a terrain characterized by its many creek branches such as Thomas Br and Spoonamore Cr. This area maintains a dispersed settlement pattern with small nodes like Post Oak, Hudsonville, and Pettigrew connected by a grid of county roads.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the high density of cemeteries scattered across the quadrangle, including the Pilgrims Rest Cem, Orphanage Cem, and Gum Springs Cem. These sites, along with others like Lone Elm Cem and Stancel Cem, provide a spatial record of the families that established these North Texas farmsteads. Larger water bodies such as Coffee Mill Lake and Lake Quail Haven stand out against the smaller creek channels that crisscross the county.
