About this map

Paris serves as the regional anchor of Lamar County, showing a well-defined grid system enclosed by the massive perimeter of State Loop 286. This 2010 survey highlights the preservation of the city's identity through the Paris Commercial Historic District, the Church Street Historic District, and the Pine Bluff-Fitzhugh Historic District. These areas reflect the architectural and social heritage of the community at the start of the twenty-first century.

North of the city center, Lake Crook dominates the landscape, supported by the Lake Crook Dam. The surrounding terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management network, including various Soil Conservation Service sites and numerous branches such as Baker Branch and Cottonwood Branch. Genealogists will find the locations of Evergreen Cemetery, Cedar Hill Cemetery, and Restlawn Cemetery particularly valuable for local family research. The map also captures smaller communities on the periphery, such as Hinckley and Givens, indicating the transition from urban to rural Northeast Texas.
