About this map

Anna and Melissa anchor this modern-era survey of northern Collin County, where residential development and highway corridors intersect a landscape still defined by its creek-fed drainage basins. The Central Expy serves as the primary spine for this region, facilitating growth between the older settlement centers. The survey is particularly rich in genealogical sites, documenting several community burial grounds including Alexander Cem, Coffman Cem, and Lair Cem.

Hydrological features like the E Fork Trinity River and its numerous tributaries, such as Throckmorton Cr and Clemons Cr, carve through the terrain, influencing the layout of county roads and local neighborhoods. Near the southern edge, the map records the winding path of Stiff Cr and Brinlee Br as they flow through the developing outskirts of Melissa, providing a clear view of how new subdivisions have integrated with the historical rural road network.
