2019 Map of Pat Mayse Lake West

About this map

Garretts Bluff and Belk anchor the rural landscape of Lamar County in this 2019 survey, an area defined by the massive eastern reach of Pat Mayse Lake. The map details a transition from the structured farm plots around Round Prairie and Ragtown to the complex wetlands and inlets formed where Sanders Creek and Craddock Cr meet the reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally useful for its precise location of small, family-linked burial grounds including Community Hall Cem, Post Oak Cem, Sumner Cem, and Caviness Cem. The road network, including FM 1499 and FM 197, connects these dispersed settlements and historical sites, while names like Parson Field and Lamar Point preserve local landmarks in a region largely defined by its relationship to the water and the Red River valley to the north.
