About this map

The East Fork Trinity River corridor and the shores of Ray Hubbard Lake anchor this topographic view of the rapidly developing borderland between Rockwall and Kaufman counties. This 2022 survey captures the residential expansion of communities like Heath and Travis Ranch, while preserving the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds that predate the modern suburbs. Features such as Hillcrest Cem near Forney and the Chisholm Chapel Cem in the McLendon-Chisholm area provide critical touchpoints for genealogists and local historians tracking the early settlement of North Texas.

The terrain is defined by a series of south-flowing drainage systems, including Buffalo Cr, Brushy Cr, and Mustang Cr. These waterways lead into notable landmarks such as University Park Lake and the marshy Thompson Slough. The map serves as a contemporary record of how the landscape has been reorganized from open agricultural land into a dense network of suburban streets and school fields like Kluttts Field.
