About this map

The town of Roxton anchors this landscape, its grid of streets such as High St, Denton St, and Wight St revealing the organized layout of a rural Texas community. This area is exceptionally dense with burial sites that provide a primary record for family researchers, including the Denton Cem, Restland Cem, and Rockyford Cem situated near the town center. The surrounding countryside is divided by a network of county roads that connect outlying settlements like Brookston, Ambia, and Howland.

Drainage systems like Cane Cr, Maxwell Cr, and Mallory Cr wind through the acreage, dictating the placement of early farmsteads and transport crossings such as the State Highway 5 Bridge. Numerous smaller family or community cemeteries are scattered throughout the agricultural landscape, including the Rice Cem, Gough Cem, and Arkansas Cem located along Arkansas Church Rd, marking the generational footprint of this Lamar County region.
