About this map

Britton sits at the junction of four Texas counties, serving as a focal point where the borders of Tarrant, Dallas, Ellis, and Johnson converge. This modern survey illustrates the suburban expansion and hydrological character of the region south of the Metroplex. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the expansive Joe Pool Lake, which reaches into Cedar Hill and Grand Prairie. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Walnut Creek, Mountain Cr, and Soap Cr, which drain toward the larger reservoirs.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several traditional burial sites, such as Calvary Cem near Arlington and Pleasant Valley Cem further east. The landscape also features smaller water bodies like Gifford Hill Lake and Magic Valley Ranch Lake, alongside aviation landmarks such as Flying L Airpark. This map documents a transitional landscape where the suburban reaches of Mansfield and Midlothian meet the remaining open drainages of the North Texas prairies.
