2010 Map of Farmersville

About this map

Farmersville and the community of Merit anchor this northern Texas landscape, which is defined by a sophisticated network of water management sites. Numerous Soil Conservation Service dams, including Soil Conservation Service Site 73 Dam and Soil Conservation Service Site 82 Dam, regulate the many creeks flowing through the area, such as Hickory Creek and Brushy Creek. These structures create significant local water bodies like North Lake and South Lake, illustrating the intersection of regional agriculture and modern environmental engineering. Genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including Liberty Cemetery, Twin Cemetery, and Hopewell Cemetery. The presence of small aviation facilities like Short Stop Airport and the Flying m Airport suggests a rural area well-integrated with local transportation and private commerce.
