About this map

Camp Maxey dominates the central landscape of this Lamar County study, reflecting a significant military footprint just south of the Oklahoma border. The area is defined by the transition from established rural settlements like Forest Chapel, Chicota, and Powderly to the vast recreational and resource management zone of Pat Mayse Lake. This reservoir, formed along Sanders Creek, is flanked by Pat Mayse State Park, which includes designated areas like the Sanders Cove Public Use Area.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds, such as Littlejohn Cem, McEwin Cem, and Casey Cem, scattered across the undulating terrain. The St Louis San Francisco rail line runs north-south through the eastern corridor, connecting the area to Arthur City and providing an industrial backbone alongside features like a Fish Hatchery and Powderly Airport. The map also captures several smaller water bodies, including Lamar Lake and Hicks Creek, which navigate the woodlands south of the primary reservoir.
