1984 Map of Tigertown

About this map

Tigertown serves as a focal point for this agrarian landscape on the border of Fannin Co and Lamar Co, Texas. The map illustrates a region defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the extensive branching of Sanders Creek and its many tributaries like Bergner Creek and the West Fork Middle Sanders Creek. These creeks carve through the terrain, influencing the placement of early settlements and rural infrastructure. Small community centers such as Forest Hill and Maxey are visible, anchored by local landmarks like the West Lamar Sch and Cottonwood Cem. The presence of several family-named water bodies, such as Holt Creek and Collins Creek, suggests a history of long-standing landholdings. This 1980s-era topographic study provides a clear view of the rural road network and water management features, including a Water Tank near Tigertown, that supported these Northeast Texas communities during a period of steady agricultural continuity.
