About this map

Garretts Bluff and the surrounding prairie lands of northwestern Lamar County are defined by a network of rural settlements and cemeteries north of Paris, Texas. This landscape transitions from the agricultural reaches of Parson Field and Round Prairie toward the expansive waters of Pat Mayse Lake in the east. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, identifying family and community landmarks such as Community Hall Cem and Post Oak Cem.

Smaller hamlets like Belk, Ragtown, and Emberson anchor the local road system, while numerous watercourses including Sand Br, Craddock Cr, and Sanders Creek drain the undulating terrain toward the reservoir. The concentration of cemeteries near established crossroads, such as Sumner Cem and Caviness Cem, suggests the deep-rooted settlement patterns that persisted in this region even as modern infrastructure like FM 1499 and lake-side developments at Lamar Point emerged.
