About this map

The Fannin Co and Lamar Co border in Northeast Texas is defined here by a dense network of seasonal creek systems and rural farm-to-market roads. The community of Petty sits at the intersection of local history, flanked by the smaller settlements of Noble and Harmon. This area of the Blackland Prairie is characterized by its agricultural heritage, with numerous family-named watercourses such as Rowdy Cr, Ghost Cr, and Stevens Cr draining the landscape.

Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Hickory Grove Cem and McGlasson Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks for the families who settled this territory. The western edge of the map features the outskirts of Honey Grove, while the southern reaches near Grogens Lake show the transition into the drainage basin of Water Cr and Snow Cr. The road network, including FM 137 and FM 38, traces the original property lines and survey boundaries of this rural Texas landscape.
