2013 Map of Pat Mayse Lake West

About this map

Pat Mayse Lake dominates the eastern portion of this northern Texas landscape, where the waters of Sanders Cr were impounded to create this reservoir. The map reveals a rural expanse defined by small ranching and farming communities such as Belk, Garretts Bluff, and Emberson. These settlements are interconnected by a network of farm-to-market roads, including Farm Road 1499 and Farm Road 1500. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several rural burial grounds, such as Community Hall Cem near the northern boundary and Caviness Cem to the south. Along the western reaches, the terrain transitions into the drainages of Little Cr and Spring Br, while names like Round Prairie and Lamar Point provide insight into the geographic descriptors used by local residents to navigate the Lamar County countryside.
