About this map

Crandall and Talty anchor this landscape southeast of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, showing a transition from small Texas towns to developing residential corridors. The map highlights a significant network of water management, evidenced by numerous numbered Soil Conservation Service sites and the Lower East Fork Lateral systems. These structures dominate the drainage basins of Mustang Creek and Buffalo Creek, reflecting a managed hydraulic environment designed to protect the surrounding agricultural and residential lands.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several well-defined burial grounds, including Prairie View Cemetery, Shipley Cemetery, and Blackland Cemetery. The presence of small aviation hubs like Smith Field, Sunset Airport, and Parker Field points to the area's rural-industrial utility during this era. Highlighting the natural topography, Irish Ridge rises between the creek beds, while the East Fork Trinity River winds through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle.
