About this map

Celina sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in North Texas, positioned where the St Louis San Francisco and Texas railroad cuts north-south through the terrain. The map captures a moment when the town was a well-defined hub, featuring a Jr High Sch and a prominent TV Tower. Outside the main settlement, the area is defined by the winding paths of Little Elm Creek, Doe Branch, and Wilson Creek, which dictate the local topography and property boundaries.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the quadrangle, including Old Union Cem, Old Celina Cem, and Crossroads Cem. Smaller community markers like Alla, Parvin, and Smiley reflect the dispersed settlement pattern of Collin Co and Denton Co during the mid-20th century. The presence of Quarries and a Gravel Pit near Gentle Creek points to the local extractive industry that supported the region's infrastructure.
