About this map

Pattonville sits at the eastern edge of this mid-1960s landscape, where the rural character of Lamar County is defined by a network of creeks and small farming communities. An Old Railroad Grade cuts diagonally through the northern territory, marking the path of a former transit line that once served the agricultural interests of the region. The map reveals a high density of community-centric locations, such as the Plainview Community Hall and East Lamar High School, indicating a period when these local hubs were vital to the social fabric of the area.

Several family and community landmarks are scattered throughout the terrain, including Shady Grove Ch and the Biardstown Cem. The drainage patterns of Big Sandy Creek, Mulberry Creek, and Bee Bayou shape the landscape, dictating the placement of settlements like Clardy, Graves, and Marvin. This survey provides a clear view of the rural homesteads and local infrastructure before modern development altered the footprint of these historic Lamar County communities.
