1924 Map of Farmersville 3-c

About this map

Nevada and Copeville anchor this 1924 study of southeastern Collin County, Texas, conducted by the Texas Reclamation Department. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the East Fork Trinity River and its tributaries like Ticky Creek and Pilot Grove Creek. This map reveals a high density of rural schoolhouses, such as Empire School, Cairo School, and Cotton Belt School, which speak to the distributed farming communities that populated the region before mid-century consolidation.
