About this map

Blue Ridge stands as the primary hub of this North Texas landscape, where the rolling plains of Collin County meet the Fannin County line. The settlement pattern is defined by traditional crossroads communities, including Westminster, Valdasta, and Chambliss, connected by a network of Farm to Market roads like FM 2862 and FM 545. The area is heavily dissected by the headwaters of several drainages, most notably Sister Grove Cr and Pilot Grove Cr, which are punctuated by engineered water management features such as Reservoir Number Eleven and Reservoir Number Eleven.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including the Old Grounds Cem and Coleman Cem, which provide a geographic anchor for early families in settlements like Verona and Fayburg. The map also captures the modern utilization of the land, from the Tejas Stone Ranch Airport to the naming of local landmarks like Pecan Hollow Cir, illustrating the evolution from purely agrarian roots to contemporary rural residency.
