1984 Map of Lamasco

About this map

Lamasco and the surrounding North Texas countryside are defined by a network of creeks and small family burial grounds that trace the settlement history of Fannin County. The landscape is drained by Bois d'Arc Creek and its many tributaries, including Sandy Creek, Pettigrew Branch, and Coffee Mill Creek. These waterways once supported a series of small rural communities such as Hudsonville, Carson, and Pettigrew. A high concentration of family and community cemeteries, including New Hope Cem, Gum Springs Cem, and Cross Cem, provides an invaluable spatial record for genealogists and local historians tracking early residents. The northeastern corner of the map features Coffee Mill Lake, illustrating the post-war transition toward managed water resources in this agricultural region alongside smaller private developments like Lake Quail Haven.
