About this map

Paris serves as the regional hub for Lamar County, centered at the intersection of a dense grid of residential and commercial streets surrounded by the NW Loop 286 beltway. This modern survey illustrates the city's growth toward the neighboring settlement of Reno to the east and the small community of Givens. To the north, Lake Crook dominates the landscape, providing a significant water reservoir fed by Crooked Cr and Pine Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several major interment sites, including Evergreen Cem on the south side and Cedar Hill Cem to the west. The presence of Paris Jr Coll indicates the city's role as an educational center. Numerous small waterways, such as Big Sandy Cr, Cottonwood Br, and Baker Br, drain the surrounding terrain, winding between established county roads and residential developments like those found near Oak Hill.
