1980 Map of Pat Mayse Lake East

About this map

Pat Mayse Lake dominates this 1980 landscape in northern Lamar County, showing the reservoir at an elevation of 451 feet. To the south, the expansive grounds of Camp Maxey reveal a transition from military infrastructure to the surrounding rural countryside. The map documents several small communities and crossroads such as Chicota, Powderly, and Arthur City, which sit near the northern edge by the river. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including Littlejohn Cem, Casey Cem, and McEwin Cem, many of which are tucked away from the main thoroughfares.
