2011 Map of Pat Mayse Lake East

About this map

Pat Mayse Lake dominates this northern Lamar County landscape, its sprawling irregular shoreline shaped by the impoundment of Sanders Creek. The map documents a diverse mix of land uses, from the preserved acreage of Camp Maxey in the south to the small communities of Chicota, Powderly, and Arthur City that ring the water. Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the presence of several established burial grounds, including Littlejohn Cemetery, Casey Cemetery, and McEwin Cemetery, which remain as markers of early rural settlement patterns.
