About this map

Ferris and Wilmer anchor this landscape south of the Dallas metroplex, where suburban expansion meets the established creek drainages of the Trinity River basin. The geography is defined by a series of waterways, including Tenmile Creek, Bear Creek, and Long Branch, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure and older settlements like Patrick. Transportation corridors like S Dallas Ave and N Goode Rd parallel the major north-south transit spine, illustrating the area's development as a logistics and residential hub.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the Old Cemetery and Ferris Park Cemetery in the south to the Trinity Cemetery further north. The presence of Carver Memorial Park and Bluff Springs Cemetery provides significant points of interest for local history research. Additionally, the map shows Lancaster Airport and specialized features like the Head Lake Dam, reflecting the mid-century to modern utility of the land as it transitioned from purely agricultural use.
