About this map

Pat Mayse Lake dominates this northern Lamar County landscape, its irregular shoreline reaching into the drainage basins of Sanders Cr and its smaller tributaries. The 2013 topography illustrates a mix of recreation and rural settlement, with the expansive water body serving as a focal point for communities like Forest Chapel, Forest Point, and Chicota. To the south, the military heritage of the region is evident at Camp Maxey, which sits adjacent to Lamar Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established family-named burial sites, including Littlejohn Cem near the northern border and McEwin Cem and Casey Cem further south. The transportation network is defined by a series of Farm to Market roads and county routes that connect established hubs such as Powderly, Arthur City, and Caviness. The map captures the quiet transition between the wooded margins of the lake and the agricultural fields of the Texas blackland prairies.
